    Tyre pressure is measured in PSI or bar. Most peeps I know use PSI
    Conversion https://www.puretyre.co.uk/tyre-information/psi-to-bar-conversion-chart/

    If the wheelbarrow hasn't been used in a while, the OP might want to have the wheel balanced, and I'd always recommend getting Laser Alignment.

    And nitrogen fill the tyre so twice the load can be carried with ease.
