I was also confused about this, and started to make a comment about it, then I remembered that this post is on the Shitposting community, and dropped it
The unit of pressure in the SI is, in fact, the pascal. 100 psi = 689.5 kPa. For whatever reason we use bars for the tyres, tho. My car tyres run at 2.3 bar, which is a nice and easy number to remember not like the equivalent 33.358679678 psi, so ugly and difficult.
Wow, everyone should be using metric, this is so much easier!
are you stupid or sarcastic?

6 bar is 87.022642638 psi. What’s your point? Metric is superior in every way. Nearly the entire world was smart enough to come to that conclusion.
You might be missing a few decimal points there. It’s not precise enough.
I’d argue it’s inferior for estimating by eye and dividing in half.

Yeah seriously with 100 psi it’s all zeros after the decimal. Look how precise you can get when you convert to bar.
Or 689kpa.
