Thread: Do you use PSI or KPA for tyre pressures

Apologies, old timers disease well and truly to the fore today! How I got fuel confused with air pressure Buddha himself only knows!

sometimes i've used Pièze

PSI, except my non-LandRover tyre placards are in kpa.

PSI for me, but at work I use kpa.

I use PSI. Mainly because that's what I grew accustomed to inflating bike tyres (as a kid, it was the smallest number to read, and the servo inflator had that value in big red text on the dial )

Bar makes sense though- 1 bar is approx 1 atmosphere at sea level, (14.5 psi in the old money). Or Add 2 zeros (x100) to make it kPa

So 30psi is near as damnit to 2 bar, or 200kPa

PSI all the way and just to throw in a red herring fish are always pounds and ounces.....not kilograms.

I don’t think they make imperial air anymore. They use metric air and then some people call it imperial, i.e. psi .
If you have a series Land Rover pre 1966 do you need to source imperial air for your tyres?
