A 3 psi miss on one front corner of this Victory shows up as a wander before the TPMS lamp bothers you. Target 40 psi (2.76 bar) cold. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a Victory; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.
Gac Gonow Victory placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Gac Gonow Victory 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 Victory no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 285/70R17 or 255/65R17 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 |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Highway 17-inch |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | — | 2.9 | — | 290 | — | Common 16-inch all-terrain |

| 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 | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 56 psi / 3.86 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
Steering feel on the Victory lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 245/70R16; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Victory
- Park the Gac Gonow Victory for at least three hours (cold tyres).
- Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
- Set the placard for that axle — about 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar front and 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Victory is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Victory.
| 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 Victory 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 Victory 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 Victory
Front versus rear on the Gac Gonow Victory?
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.
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.
When does TPMS warn on a Gac Gonow Victory?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 245/70R16?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 285/70R17, 255/65R17 and 245/70R16 as a planning band.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Victory?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
