    8,6 Bar is enought,some trucks, like Volvo FH runs at 9-10 BAR in brake system, but 4x2 trucktors have addtional 12 Bar tank for air suspention.

    Air pressure may easily be ajusted. But IMO, 8.6 BAR is enought

    120 PSI ~ 8.3 BAR -usual pressure for Europan trucks too, but some truck makers increase pressure up to 10-12 BAR.

    HAH! Thailer brake system makers say, that they design systems for 8-9 bar max and if more then 10 bar in red glad hand - no warranty!
