PSI is an abbreviation that stands for Pounds perSquare Inch.* For tires, it refers to the internal pressure of an inflated tire.

* It expresses the unit for a pressure measurement (number of pounds on each square inch of surface area that is subject to the relevant pressure). This is a unit designation used primarily in USA and Canada. Other areas use the designations:

kPa, standing for kilopascals, or,

bar, the international metric unit of pressure that is approximately equal to one atmosphere of pressure (14.50378 psi).

See related links for how to convert between these units.
