The front axle of a Trucks-Lkw Liebherr steers and, on front-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar. Size estimates on this page include 235/75R15, 265/70R17 and 285/70R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
Trucks-Lkw Liebherr placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Trucks-Lkw Liebherr sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 35-45 / 45-65 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (235/75R15 and others)
If your Trucks-Lkw Liebherr no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 235/75R15 or 265/70R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 235/75R15 | 41 | — | 2.83 | — | 283 | — | Older compact truck |
| 265/70R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 285/70R17 | 44 | — | 3.03 | — | 303 | — | Wide all-terrain |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | — | 2.9 | — | 290 | — | Common 16-inch all-terrain |
| LT265/70R17 | 48 | — | 3.31 | — | 331 | — | LT 17-inch |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Highway 17-inch |
| 275/65R18 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Plus-size 18-inch |
| LT245/75R16 | 48 | — | 3.31 | — | 331 | — | LT-metric, higher load |
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.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 55 psi / 3.79 bar |
| Full occupancy | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 42 psi / 2.9 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
Steering feel on the Liebherr lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 285/70R17; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Liebherr
- Park the Trucks-Lkw Liebherr 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 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar front and 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Liebherr 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 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Liebherr.
| 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 |
Trucks-Lkw notes
No special Trucks-Lkw exception: the Liebherr 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 Liebherr 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.
Keep the Trucks-Lkw Liebherr on the printed band; use 235/75R15 and 285/70R17 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Liebherr
What is that in bar and kPa for the Liebherr?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
Front versus rear on the Trucks-Lkw Liebherr?
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.
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.
When does TPMS warn on a Trucks-Lkw Liebherr?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What tyre pressure should a Trucks-Lkw Liebherr 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.
