A LDV Maxus run at sidewall-max (often 44–51 psi) is over-inflated for this passenger car. The operating PSI is 32-35/32-35. Size estimates on this page include 215/55R16, 225/40R18 and 245/40R18 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

LDV Maxus placard versus sidewall

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

Estimated pressure by tyre size (215/55R16 and others)

If your LDV Maxus no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 215/55R16 or 225/40R18 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
215/55R16	34	35	2.34	2.41	234	241	Slightly wider 16-inch
225/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 18-inch
245/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Wide touring 18-inch
205/55R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Typical mid-compact OEM

How to set the Maxus

Park the LDV Maxus 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 front-wheel drive Maxus is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

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.

Condition	Front (est.)	Rear (est.)
Driver only	34 psi / 2.34 bar	34 psi / 2.34 bar
Full occupancy	34 psi / 2.34 bar	35 psi / 2.41 bar
Motorway + luggage	35 psi / 2.41 bar	38 psi / 2.62 bar

Temperature drift

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

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

LDV notes

No special LDV exception: the Maxus 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 LDV Maxus 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 LDV sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Maxus

Front versus rear on the LDV Maxus?

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.

When does TPMS warn on a LDV Maxus?

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 LDV Maxus 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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a LDV Maxus?

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

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 215/55R16, 225/40R18 and 245/40R18 as a planning band.
