A front-wheel drive Nissan Almera still wants even corners. 2.2-2.4 vs 2.2-2.4 is an axle split, not a left-right split. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.

Nissan Almera placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Nissan Almera 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 (225/50R17 and others)

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Almera sample opens with 225/50R17, then 225/40R18 and 185/65R15.

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 Almera

  1. Park the Nissan Almera for at least three hours (cold tyres).
  2. Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
  3. 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.
  4. Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Almera is enough to feel a pull.
  5. Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Temperature drift

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

Nissan notes

A Qashqai and a Navara do not share a number. Vans and taxis may sit higher than a family hatch.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Nissan Almera 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 Nissan sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Almera

Front versus rear on the Nissan Almera?

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 Nissan Almera?

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

Is the sidewall number correct on a Nissan Almera?

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

What PSI if I plus-size toward 185/65R15?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/50R17, 225/40R18 and 185/65R15 as a planning band.

What is that in bar and kPa for the Almera?

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