Tire pressure table for all approved tires installed

at the factory (example)

If the tire pressure precedes a tire size, the
tire pressure specification is only valid for this
tire size. The vehicle loading conditions
"partially laden" or "fully laden" are specified
using a differing number of persons and
luggage in the table. The actual number of
seats may differ from this.

Tire pressure table with tire sizes (example)

Some tire pressure tables only show the rim
diameter instead of the complete tire size,
e.g.

R18. The rim diameter is a component of

the tire size and can be read from the tire
sidewall (
