Frequently asked questions
What is a normal car tyre pressure?
Usually 30–35 psi (about 2.1–2.4 bar); check the label in your car door.
Is hPa the same as mbar?
Yes, 1 hectopascal equals 1 millibar.
Is psi gauge or absolute?
Conversion factors are the same; tyre gauges show pressure above atmospheric (psig).
