Treat this page as a map of the L200 band. The legal setpoint is the printed door-pillar label for your VIN. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Mitsubishi tyre. Commercial and load-biased bodies like this pickup / double-cab often need a higher rear; LT or C-type sizes such as 275/65R18 are not filled like a Fiesta.

How to set the L200

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep L200 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.

Mitsubishi L200 placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Mitsubishi L200 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 (265/70R17 and others)

If your Mitsubishi L200 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 265/70R17 or 235/75R15 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Pressure against load

Load moves the rear of a pickup / double-cab first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this L200.

Mitsubishi notes

No special Mitsubishi exception: the L200 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 Mitsubishi L200 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.

A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this L200 than nitrogen upsells.

Questions about this L200

How often should I check a L200?

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 L200?

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

When does TPMS warn on a Mitsubishi L200?

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

Front versus rear on the Mitsubishi L200?

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 275/65R18?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 265/70R17, 235/75R15 and 275/65R18 as a planning band.
