350kpa in lb or kg?
 
Hi, my tires max pressure is 350kpa according to the warnings. However, in all the gas stations I went to the gauges at the air stations are always in lb or kg. I looked on google but could not find a direct convertsion. Please help. Thank you :)

Pressure conversion web site
 
Try this web site : http://www.onlineconversion.com/pressure.htm
kpa is Kilopascals and you can convert to PSI (pounds per sq in)
350 kpa is just over 50 pounds.
and another that may help : http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/...nversions.html

Your max tire pressure (on the sidewall) has nothing to do with what you should inflate your tires to. It has to do with what the tire is designed to.

Yes, 350 kpa is 51 psi. However, that is irrelevant given your comments about the gas station tire inflator.

Look on the door jamb. You will see a table that lists 220 kpa/32 psi for standard loads, slightly different for different tire sizes and maximum rear axle loads.

Try entering this in Google: overinflated tire explosion :rofl: (Sorry Ray, couldn't resist)

BMR: Do the Google search, and you will find this link, among others: http://www.4x4now.com/sf1296.htm
Look halfway down the article. Then go back to 32-39 psi.
