The front axle of a Gac Gonow Victor steers and, on front-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar. TPMS typically warns near 30 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Gac Gonow Victor placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Gac Gonow Victor 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 (285/70R17 and others)
If your Gac Gonow Victor no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 285/70R17 or 265/70R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 285/70R17 | 44 | — | 3.03 | — | 303 | — | Wide all-terrain |
| 265/70R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Highway 17-inch |
| 235/75R15 | 41 | — | 2.83 | — | 283 | — | Older compact truck |

| 275/65R18 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Plus-size 18-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 |
Steering feel on the Victor lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 255/65R17; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Victor
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Victor 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 Victor.
| 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 Victor 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 Victor 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 Victor
Front versus rear on the Gac Gonow Victor?
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.
How often should I check a Victor?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?
No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 255/65R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 285/70R17, 265/70R17 and 255/65R17 as a planning band.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Victor?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
