Most US passenger-car tires call for 32–35 psi. A typical bicycle tire runs 50–80 psi. In kilopascals, that gives you: 1 psi = 6.89476 kPa, 10 psi = 68.9476 kPa, 100 psi = 689.476 kPa.
The pound per square inch (psi) is the customary US pressure unit, derived from the avoirdupois pound-force on a square inch (≈ 6,894.76 Pa exactly). It is the standard unit on US car tire-pressure stickers, scuba gauges in the US, and most plumbing specifications.
The kilopascal (kPa) equals exactly 1,000 pascals. It is the standard pressure unit in modern meteorology, engineering specs outside the US, and most non-US tire-pressure recommendations.
