This front-wheel drive passenger car is filed here with a working range of 32-35/32-35 psi. The pillar sticker on your VIN still overrides the website. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Weltmeister tyre.
PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the EX6 Plus: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/40R18 and others)
225/40R18 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/40R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Low-profile 18-inch |

Weltmeister notes
No special Weltmeister exception: the EX6 Plus uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
Weltmeister EX6 Plus placard versus sidewall
Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this EX6 Plus is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Weltmeister EX6 Plus 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.
How to set the EX6 Plus
- Park the Weltmeister EX6 Plus 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 EX6 Plus is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this EX6 Plus.
| 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 |
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 | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
If the Weltmeister sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this EX6 Plus
What is that in bar and kPa for the EX6 Plus?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/50R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/40R18, 185/65R15 and 225/50R17 as a planning band.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Weltmeister EX6 Plus?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The EX6 Plus placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
How often should I check a EX6 Plus?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What tyre pressure should a Weltmeister EX6 Plus 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.
