A front-wheel drive Great Wall H5E still wants even corners. 2.2-2.4 vs 2.2-2.4 is an axle split, not a left-right split. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a H5E; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.

Bar-led conversions around the Great Wall H5E. 2.2-2.4 bar is not “32-35 divided by ten”.

Great Wall H5E placard versus sidewall

If the Great Wall sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/40R18 and others)

225/40R18 is the first planning size here. 205/55R16 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

Load notes

Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

How to set the H5E

  1. Park the Great Wall H5E for at least three hours (cold tyres).
  2. Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
  3. Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
  4. Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive H5E is enough to feel a pull.
  5. 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 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this H5E.

Great Wall notes

No special Great Wall exception: the H5E 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 Great Wall H5E usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 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.

A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this H5E than nitrogen upsells.

Questions about this H5E

What is that in bar and kPa for the H5E?

Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.

When does TPMS warn on a Great Wall H5E?

Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.

Front versus rear on the Great Wall H5E?

This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.

What PSI if I plus-size toward 205/55R16?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/40R18, 245/40R18 and 205/55R16 as a planning band.

What tyre pressure should a Great Wall H5E use?

Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
