The rear of a light commercial takes passengers, luggage and, on vans, payload. Catalogue rear pressure on the Gac Gonow GX6 is 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar. TPMS typically warns near 30 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Gac Gonow GX6 placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Gac Gonow GX6 sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 35-45 / 45-65 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (255/65R17 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a light commercial. This GX6 sample opens with 255/65R17, then LT245/75R16 and LT265/70R17.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 255/65R17 | — | 60 | — | 4.14 | — | 414 | Highway 17-inch |
| LT245/75R16 | — | 67 | — | 4.62 | — | 462 | LT-metric, higher load |
| LT265/70R17 | — | 69 | — | 4.76 | — | 476 | LT 17-inch |

Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a light commercial first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 55 psi / 3.79 bar |
| Full occupancy | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 42 psi / 2.9 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
A family light commercial with a boot full of luggage should use the laden rear figure if Ford, VW or Mercedes printed one. Otherwise the modest steps in the load table are only a sketch for this GX6.
How to set the GX6
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep GX6 numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 40 psi (2.76 bar) front and 55 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this GX6.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 38 psi | 2.62 bar | 262 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 39 psi | 2.69 bar | 269 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 40 psi | 2.76 bar | 276 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 42 psi | 2.9 bar | 290 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 43 psi | 2.96 bar | 296 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Gac Gonow notes
No special Gac Gonow exception: the GX6 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Gac Gonow GX6 usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 45-65 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Gac Gonow sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this GX6
What tyre pressure should a Gac Gonow GX6 use?
Catalogue reference is 35-45 psi front and 45-65 psi rear (2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Gac Gonow GX6?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The GX6 placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
When does TPMS warn on a Gac Gonow GX6?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Front versus rear on the Gac Gonow GX6?
This row is 35-45 F / 45-65 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
What PSI if I plus-size toward LT265/70R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 255/65R17, LT245/75R16 and LT265/70R17 as a planning band.
