Recommended pressure means the vehicle placard, not the tyre sidewall. For a Great Wall Sailor the catalogue proxy is 32-35/32-35 psi (2.2-2.4/2.2-2.4 bar). TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.

How to set the Sailor

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Sailor numbers in your head.
  3. Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
  4. If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
  5. Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Great Wall Sailor placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Great Wall Sailor sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (215/55R16 and others)

If your Great Wall Sailor no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 215/55R16 or 225/40R18 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Pressure against load

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

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Sailor.

Great Wall notes

No special Great Wall exception: the Sailor 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 Sailor 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.

If the Great Wall sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Sailor

Front versus rear on the Great Wall Sailor?

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.

When does TPMS warn on a Great Wall Sailor?

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

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 is that in bar and kPa for the Sailor?

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

Is the sidewall number correct on a Great Wall Sailor?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Sailor placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
