The rear of a light commercial takes passengers, luggage and, on vans, payload. Catalogue rear pressure on the Trucks-Lkw Daewoo is 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar. Size estimates on this page include 255/65R17, 275/65R18 and 265/70R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

Trucks-Lkw Daewoo placard versus sidewall

Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this Daewoo is the pillar sticker, near 40/55 psi.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (255/65R17 and others)

If your Trucks-Lkw Daewoo no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 255/65R17 or 275/65R18 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Pressure against load

Load moves the rear of a light commercial first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

ConditionFront (est.)Rear (est.)
Driver only40 psi / 2.76 bar55 psi / 3.79 bar
Full occupancy41 psi / 2.83 bar57 psi / 3.93 bar
Motorway + luggage42 psi / 2.9 bar59 psi / 4.07 bar

A family light commercial with a boot full of luggage should use the laden rear figure if Ford, VW or Mercedes printed one. Otherwise the modest steps in the load table are only a sketch for this Daewoo.

How to set the Daewoo

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Daewoo numbers in your head.
  3. Add air in short bursts toward 40 psi (2.76 bar) front and 55 psi rear.
  4. If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
  5. Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Trucks-Lkw notes

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

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Trucks-Lkw Daewoo 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.

If the Trucks-Lkw sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Daewoo

When does TPMS warn on a Trucks-Lkw Daewoo?

Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.

What is that in bar and kPa for the Daewoo?

Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.

What tyre pressure should a Trucks-Lkw Daewoo use?

Catalogue reference is 35-45 psi front and 45-65 psi rear (2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.

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 Daewoo?

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