Practical advice
Tyre air pressure chart.
Tyre air pressure in bar
Tyre size 275/70 R 22.5, load
characteristic 148
Axle load for single set of
tyres in kg
Axle load for twin set of tyres
in kg
Axle load/air pressure rating
for buses in the urban loc-
al traffic including journeys
to suburbs and neighbour-
ing towns when the average
speed does not exceed 40
km/h
Axle load/air pressure rating
for buses with maximum op-
erational road speeds up to
60 km/h
Axle load/air pressure rating
in recreational and holiday
traffic
Danger.
Risk of accident. An under-
inflated tyre impairs driving
safety and reduces tyre life.
Fuel consumption, tyre wear
and risk of tyre damage are
increased.
Caution:
Check tyre pressures regu-
larly.
Note:
The values listed in the chart
are recommended values for
tyre size 275/70 R 22.5 -
load characteristic 148. Con-
tact the respective tyre manu-
facturer for special operating
conditions.
Note:
The tyre air pressure changes
by approx. 0.2 bar for each
10 °C difference in air tem-
perature. This must be borne
in mind if air pressures are
checked indoors, especially in
the winter.
Example: temperature in the
depot approximately 20 °C,
outside temperature approx-
imately 0 °C – this means
that the tyre pressure to be
set = specified tyre pressure
+ 0.4 bar.
