European and UK handbooks usually quote bar. The Gac Gonow WAY catalogue is 2.4-3.1 bar front and 3.1-4.5 bar rear (midpoint 2.76 / 3.79). Size estimates on this page include LT265/70R17, 235/75R15 and 255/65R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (LT265/70R17 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a light commercial. This WAY sample opens with LT265/70R17, then 235/75R15 and 255/65R17.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LT265/70R17 | 48 | 69 | 3.31 | 4.76 | 331 | 476 | LT 17-inch |
| 235/75R15 | 41 | 58 | 2.83 | 4 | 283 | 400 | Older compact truck |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Highway 17-inch |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | 59 | 2.9 | 4.07 | 290 | 407 | Common 16-inch all-terrain |
| 275/65R18 | 43 | 61 | 2.96 | 4.21 | 296 | 421 | Plus-size 18-inch |
| 265/70R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 285/70R17 | 44 | 62 | 3.03 | 4.27 | 303 | 427 | Wide all-terrain |

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 | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 42 psi / 2.9 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
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
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.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Gac Gonow WAY?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The WAY placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
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 LT265/70R17, 235/75R15 and 255/65R17 as a planning band.
How often should I check a WAY?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
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.
