On a Rivian Others the useful pair is 34 psi (2.31 bar) up front and 34 psi (2.31 bar) at the back, mid-range. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target. Battery mass on this {make} {model} makes a 4 psi-low tyre cost range as well as heat.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Rivian Others 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 Others.

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

Estimated pressure by tyre size (195/65R15 and others)

If your Rivian Others no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 195/65R15 or 225/40R18 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
195/65R15	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Very common compact
225/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 18-inch
255/40R19	37	37	2.55	2.55	255	255	EV 19-inch aero wheel

Rivian notes

No special Rivian exception: the Others uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

Pressure against load

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

Rivian Others placard versus sidewall

Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this Others is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.

PSI, bar and kPa

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

PSI	Bar	kPa

33	2.28	228
33.5	2.31	231

How to set the Others

Park the Rivian Others 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 Others is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Keep the Rivian Others on the printed band; use 195/65R15 and 255/40R19 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Others

Front versus rear on the Rivian Others?

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.

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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a Rivian Others?

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

What is that in bar and kPa for the Others?

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

What PSI if I plus-size toward 255/40R19?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 195/65R15, 225/40R18 and 255/40R19 as a planning band.
