3.79 bar · 379 kPa at the rear axle
35-45 psi F · 45-65 psi R · 2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar · 276/379 kPa
Loaded WAY rears often need the sticker’s second column, not a copy of the front 35-45 psi figure. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a WAY; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.
Gac Gonow WAY placard versus sidewall
Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this WAY is the pillar sticker, near 40/55 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (265/70R17 and others)
If your Gac Gonow WAY no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 265/70R17 or LT265/70R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 265/70R17 | — | 60 | — | 4.14 | — | 414 | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| LT265/70R17 | — | 69 | — | 4.76 | — | 476 | LT 17-inch |
| 255/65R17 | — | 60 | — | 4.14 | — | 414 | Highway 17-inch |
| 245/70R16 | — | 59 | — | 4.07 | — | 407 | Common 16-inch all-terrain |
| 275/65R18 | — | 61 | — | 4.21 | — | 421 | Plus-size 18-inch |

| LT245/75R16 | — | 67 | — | 4.62 | — | 462 | LT-metric, higher load |

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 | 58 psi / 4 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 WAY.
How to set the WAY
- Park the Gac Gonow WAY 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 WAY 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 WAY.
| 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 WAY 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 WAY 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 WAY
Front versus rear on the Gac Gonow WAY?
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 tyre pressure should a Gac Gonow WAY 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.
When does TPMS warn on a Gac Gonow WAY?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What is that in bar and kPa for the WAY?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
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 265/70R17, LT265/70R17 and 255/65R17 as a planning band.
