On a IZH 27171 the useful pair is 34 psi (2.31 bar) up front and 34 psi (2.31 bar) at the back, mid-range. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed IZH tyre.

PSI, bar and kPa

1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the 27171: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.

How to set the 27171

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep 27171 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.

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.

IZH 27171 placard versus sidewall

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

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the IZH 27171 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.

IZH notes

No special IZH exception: the 27171 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

Temperature and a cold gauge

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this 27171.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/55R16 and others)

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This 27171 sample opens with 205/55R16, then 245/40R18 and 215/55R16.

A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this 27171 than nitrogen upsells.

Other IZH models

Questions about this 27171

What is that in bar and kPa for the 27171?

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

Front versus rear on the IZH 27171?

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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a IZH 27171?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The 27171 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.

What tyre pressure should a IZH 27171 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.
