A 3 psi miss on one front corner of this Steed shows up as a wander before the TPMS lamp bothers you. Target 34 psi (2.31 bar) cold. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a Steed; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.
Great Wall Steed 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)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Steed sample opens with 225/40R18, then 205/55R16 and 225/45R17.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/40R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Low-profile 18-inch |
| 205/55R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Typical mid-compact OEM |
| 225/45R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Sport 17-inch |
| 185/65R15 | 33 | — | 2.28 | — | 228 | — | Small / older car |
| 205/60R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Taller 16-inch |
| 215/55R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 215/50R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Plus-size 17-inch |
| 225/50R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Touring 17-inch |
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.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 36 psi / 2.48 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
Steering feel on the Steed lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 225/45R17; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Steed
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Steed numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Steed.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Great Wall notes
No special Great Wall exception: the Steed 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 Steed 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 Steed than nitrogen upsells.
Other Great Wall models
Questions about this Steed
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.
How often should I check a Steed?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
When does TPMS warn on a Great Wall Steed?
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 Steed?
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 tyre pressure should a Great Wall Steed 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.
