European and UK handbooks usually quote bar. The Nissan Cabstar catalogue is 2.2-2.4 bar front and 2.2-2.4 bar rear (midpoint 2.31 / 2.31). Size estimates on this page include 205/60R16, 215/50R17 and 215/55R16 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Bar, PSI and kPa

Bar-led conversions around the Nissan Cabstar. 2.2-2.4 bar is not “32-35 divided by ten”.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/60R16 and others)

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Cabstar sample opens with 205/60R16, then 215/50R17 and 215/55R16.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
205/60R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Taller 16-inch
215/50R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Plus-size 17-inch
215/55R16	34	35	2.34	2.41	234	241	Slightly wider 16-inch
185/65R15	33	33	2.28	2.28	228	228	Small / older car
225/50R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Touring 17-inch
205/55R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Typical mid-compact OEM
225/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 18-inch
225/45R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Sport 17-inch

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	35 psi / 2.41 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar
Motorway + luggage	36 psi / 2.48 bar	37 psi / 2.55 bar

How to set the Cabstar

Park the Nissan Cabstar 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 Cabstar is enough to feel a pull.
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 Cabstar.

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

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 Cabstar 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 Cabstar

What tyre pressure should a Nissan Cabstar 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 PSI if I plus-size toward 215/55R16?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 205/60R16, 215/50R17 and 215/55R16 as a planning band.

Front versus rear on the Nissan Cabstar?

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 Cabstar?

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 Cabstar?

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