On a Nissan E-NV200 the useful pair is 40 psi (2.76 bar) up front and 55 psi (3.79 bar) at the back, mid-range. Size estimates on this page include 235/65R16, 215/65R16 and 215/75R16C — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker. Commercial and load-biased bodies like this van often need a higher rear; LT or C-type sizes such as 215/75R16C are not filled like a Fiesta.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Nissan E-NV200 usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 45-65 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.
PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the E-NV200: 40 psi = 2.76 bar = 276 kPa.

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a van. This E-NV200 sample opens with 235/65R16, then 215/65R16 and 215/75R16C.

Nissan E-NV200 placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Nissan E-NV200 sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 35-45 / 45-65 psi.
How to set the E-NV200
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep E-NV200 numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 40 psi (2.76 bar) front and 55 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.
Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a van first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 55 psi / 3.79 bar |
| Full occupancy | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 56 psi / 3.86 bar |
| Payload / towing | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 59 psi / 4.07 bar |
Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this E-NV200.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 38 psi | 2.62 bar | 262 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 39 psi | 2.69 bar | 269 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 40 psi | 2.76 bar | 276 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 42 psi | 2.9 bar | 290 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 43 psi | 2.96 bar | 296 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.
If the Nissan sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this E-NV200
Front versus rear on the Nissan E-NV200?
This row is 35-45 F / 45-65 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 E-NV200?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?
No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
What is that in bar and kPa for the E-NV200?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Nissan E-NV200?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The E-NV200 placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
