Cold means the Infiniti Q30 has stood at least three hours, or covered less than about a mile. Heat from a dual carriageway run is not the number you set. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target. Keep side-to-side spread inside about 2 psi so the all-wheel drive hardware is not working on a radius mismatch.
Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Q30.
| 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 |
How to set the Q30
- Park the Infiniti Q30 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 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a all-wheel drive Q30 is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Infiniti Q30 placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Infiniti Q30 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 (225/65R17 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a SUV / crossover. This Q30 sample opens with 225/65R17, then 235/60R18 and 225/60R18.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/65R17 | 35 | 35 | 2.41 | 2.41 | 241 | 241 | Very common 17-inch |
| 235/60R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Plus-size 18-inch |
| 225/60R18 | 35 | 35 | 2.41 | 2.41 | 241 | 241 | Highway CUV |
| 255/50R20 | 37 | 37 | 2.55 | 2.55 | 255 | 255 | 20-inch plus-size |
| 215/70R16 | 34 | 34 | 2.34 | 2.34 | 234 | 234 | Compact crossover |
| 245/55R19 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Low-profile 19-inch |
| 235/65R17 | 35 | 36 | 2.41 | 2.48 | 241 | 248 | Mid-size SUV |
| 245/60R18 | 36 | 37 | 2.48 | 2.55 | 248 | 255 | Heavier CUV |

Load notes
Load moves the rear of a SUV / crossover 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 |
Infiniti notes
No special Infiniti exception: the Q30 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 Infiniti Q30 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.
Keep the Infiniti Q30 on the printed band; use 225/65R17 and 225/60R18 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Q30
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/60R18?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/65R17, 235/60R18 and 225/60R18 as a planning band.
How often should I check a Q30?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Q30?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Infiniti Q30?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Q30 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
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.
