MG tyre pressures
MG ZS tyre pressure
The tyre pressures MG prints in its handbook for each ZS tyre size, by generation — ZS Mk2 (incl. Hybrid+) (2024 on), ZS EV (2019–2025) and ZS Mk1 (petrol) (2017–2024). Find your tyre size on the sidewall, then read across.

Notes from the handbooks
- 195/65 R15 91H: Handbook prints one pressure table for all wheel sizes (cold, unladen). Pre-facelift (MY17) handbook.
- 215/50 R17 91V: Handbook prints one pressure table for all wheel sizes (cold, unladen). Pre-facelift (MY17) handbook.
- 215/55 R17 94V: Facelift handbook prints 2.3 bar as 34 psi (the MY17 handbook printed 2.3 bar as 33 psi). Only one size printed.
What the handbooks don't say
- No laden pressures printed in either handbook (unladen column only).
- Facelift (2020–2024) handbook prints only 215/55 R17; any 16-inch fitment of the facelift car is not printed.
- Exact facelift changeover year for the pressure change (2.3/2.0 bar to 2.3/2.3 bar) is taken from handbook editions, not a dated bulletin.
Figures marked "Maker's handbook" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the handbook prints. Nothing here has been checked against your car: if it disagrees with the label on the car, the label wins.

Tyre pressure questions
What tyre pressure should an MG ZS have?
It depends on the tyre size and, on some versions, the engine. For the sizes MG lists, the normal-load pressure is 33–41 psi (2.3–2.8 bar) at the front and 29–41 psi (2.0–2.8 bar) at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tyres cold.
What size tyres does an MG ZS take?
MG fitted the ZS with 195/65 R15, 215/60 R16, 215/50 R17, 215/55 R17 and 215/50 R18, depending on the generation and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tyre; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tyre pressure label on an MG ZS?
On most cars it is on the driver's door pillar or inside the fuel filler flap. It normally gives the same figures as the handbook, which is where the ones on this page come from — if the two ever disagree, go by the label on your car.
