On a Mitsubishi L200 the useful pair is 34 psi (2.31 bar) up front and 34 psi (2.31 bar) at the back, mid-range. Size estimates on this page include 285/70R17, 255/65R17 and 245/70R16 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker. Commercial and load-biased bodies like this pickup / double-cab often need a higher rear; LT or C-type sizes such as 245/70R16 are not filled like a Fiesta.

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.

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
Payload / towing	36 psi / 2.48 bar	38 psi / 2.62 bar

PSI, bar and kPa

1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the L200: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.

How to set the L200

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

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.

Temperature and a cold gauge

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

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

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.

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 (285/70R17 and others)

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a pickup / double-cab. This L200 sample opens with 285/70R17, then 255/65R17 and 245/70R16.

275/65R18	37	40	2.55	2.76	255	276	Plus-size 18-inch

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

Questions about this L200

What tyre pressure should a Mitsubishi L200 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 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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a Mitsubishi L200?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The L200 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

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.
