A front-wheel drive Iso Rivolta 300 still wants even corners. 2.2-2.4 vs 2.2-2.4 is an axle split, not a left-right split. Size estimates on this page include 195/65R15, 205/60R16 and 245/40R18 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Iso Rivolta 300 placard versus sidewall

Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this 300 is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (195/65R15 and others)

If your Iso Rivolta 300 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 195/65R15 or 205/60R16 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

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 300

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep 300 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 300.

Iso Rivolta notes

No special Iso Rivolta exception: the 300 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 Iso Rivolta 300 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 Iso Rivolta sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this 300

Front versus rear on the Iso Rivolta 300?

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 195/65R15, 205/60R16 and 245/40R18 as a planning band.

When does TPMS warn on a Iso Rivolta 300?

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

How often should I check a 300?

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 300?

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