2.3 bar is not 23 psi. On this WEY 05 2.2-2.4 bar converts to about 32-35 psi. Use the table, not a guess. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.

GWM WEY 05 placard versus sidewall

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

Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/60R16 and others)

205/60R16 is the first planning size here. 245/40R18 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 WEY 05

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep WEY 05 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.

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this WEY 05.

GWM notes

No special GWM exception: the WEY 05 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 GWM WEY 05 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 GWM sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this WEY 05

Is the sidewall number correct on a GWM WEY 05?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The WEY 05 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

What tyre pressure should a GWM WEY 05 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.

Front versus rear on the GWM WEY 05?

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 245/40R18?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 205/60R16, 225/45R17 and 245/40R18 as a planning band.

How often should I check a WEY 05?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
