Recommended pressure means the vehicle placard, not the tyre sidewall. For a Zastava 1100 TF the catalogue proxy is 32-35/32-35 psi (2.2-2.4/2.2-2.4 bar). Size estimates on this page include 225/50R17, 245/40R18 and 215/50R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
How to set the 1100 TF
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep 1100 TF numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.
Zastava 1100 TF placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Zastava 1100 TF sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/50R17 and others)
225/50R17 is the first planning size here. 215/50R17 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.

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 | 38 psi / 2.62 bar |
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this 1100 TF.
| 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 |
Zastava notes
No special Zastava exception: the 1100 TF 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 Zastava 1100 TF 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.
A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this 1100 TF than nitrogen upsells.

Questions about this 1100 TF
What is that in bar and kPa for the 1100 TF?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
How often should I check a 1100 TF?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
When does TPMS warn on a Zastava 1100 TF?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Front versus rear on the Zastava 1100 TF?
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.
What tyre pressure should a Zastava 1100 TF 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.
