Renault Laguna tyre pressure in bar

Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
Body: passenger car
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa

2.3 bar is not 23 psi. On this Laguna 2.2-2.4 bar converts to about 32-35 psi. Use the table, not a guess. Size estimates on this page include 245/40R18, 215/50R17 and 225/50R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Renault Laguna placard versus sidewall

If the Renault sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/40R18 and others)

245/40R18 is the first planning size here. 225/50R17 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
245/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Wide touring 18-inch
215/50R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Plus-size 17-inch
225/50R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Touring 17-inch
185/65R15	33	33	2.28	2.28	228	228	Small / older car
195/65R15	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Very common compact
225/45R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Sport 17-inch
225/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 18-inch
205/55R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Typical mid-compact OEM

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	34 psi / 2.34 bar	35 psi / 2.41 bar
Motorway + luggage	35 psi / 2.41 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar

How to set the Laguna

Park the Renault Laguna 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 Laguna 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 Laguna.

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

Renault notes

Renault vans (Trafic, Master) live in a commercial band. Clios do not.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Renault Laguna 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.

Keep the Renault Laguna on the printed band; use 245/40R18 and 225/50R17 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Laguna

Is the sidewall number correct on a Renault Laguna?

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

What tyre pressure should a Renault Laguna 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.

When does TPMS warn on a Renault Laguna?

Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 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.

How often should I check a Laguna?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
