On a Infiniti QX60 the useful pair is 34 psi (2.31 bar) up front and 34 psi (2.31 bar) at the back, mid-range. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a QX60; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/60R16 and others)
205/60R16 is the first planning size here. 225/40R18 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the QX60: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.
| PSI | Bar | kPa |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | 2.07 | 207 |
| 32 | 2.21 | 221 |
| 33 | 2.28 | 228 |
| 33.5 | 2.31 | 231 |
| 35 | 2.41 | 241 |
| 36 | 2.48 | 248 |
| 38 | 2.62 | 262 |
| 40 | 2.76 | 276 |
| 44 | 3.03 | 303 |
| 50 | 3.45 | 345 |
| 60 | 4.14 | 414 |
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 | 37 psi / 2.55 bar |
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Infiniti QX60 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.
Infiniti QX60 placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Infiniti QX60 sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
How to set the QX60
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep QX60 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 and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this QX60.
| 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 |
Infiniti notes
No special Infiniti exception: the QX60 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
If the Infiniti sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this QX60
Is the sidewall number correct on a Infiniti QX60?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The QX60 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
When does TPMS warn on a Infiniti QX60?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What tyre pressure should a Infiniti QX60 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.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/40R18?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 205/60R16, 195/65R15 and 225/40R18 as a planning band.
How often should I check a QX60?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
