PSI is the Imperial reading most UK motorists still see on garage hoses. For the Gac Gonow GX6 the catalogue row is 35-45 psi front and 45-65 psi rear. Size estimates on this page include LT265/70R17, 285/70R17 and 245/70R16 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
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 (LT265/70R17 and others)
LT265/70R17 is the first planning size here. 245/70R16 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

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.
Load notes
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 | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 56 psi / 3.86 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
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 is that in bar and kPa for the GX6?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
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.
How often should I check a GX6?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
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.
