Aaah, well that might explain why I have no other connotations to the
word "PSI", then. I happen to know that "PSI" means "pound per inch"
because Google conveniently says so when I search for "psi".
In ZA we use bar for tyre pressure, although when we do get your tyres
checked, we generally don't mention the unit. I would simply say "erm,
make them two point one in front and two point three at the back". I
suspect that is because no-one is exactly sure whether its bar or
kilobar and you don't want to look like a fool by saying the wrong one.
