Differences in Tyre Pressure Measurement in Bar or PSI

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

Video tutorial

In this video, the difference between two units of measurement used to measure tyre pressure is explained, which are often used interchangeably, even though they measure different values. Some manufacturers express the pressure value in PSI, which stands for 'pounds per square inch', a measurement used in Anglo-Saxon countries, rather than in Bar. One Bar is approximately 14.5 PSI, so a tyre that needs to be inflated to 2.2 Bar corresponds to about 32 PSI. You will surely find a conversion app on your smartphone to clarify this, ensuring you do not make any mistakes.
