Recommended Subaru Tire Pressure

Have you ever driven through Sanford or Orlando, anxious about your Subaru Outback tire pressure? Or have you ever seen the tire pressure light and wondered if your Subaru Crosstrek tire pressure needs addressing? Fortunately, we at Subaru North Orlando can help!

The recommended tire pressure for Subaru is 32-36 PSI, and it's vital to check your tires regularly. After all, your Subaru Forester tire pressure can impact performance in ways you might not even expect. Some common symptoms of low tire pressure include:

• Accelerated tire wear
• Low responsiveness / poor handling
• Declining fuel economy

Ultimately, a tire with low pressure simply can't grip the road like a properly inflated tire, and the same applies to tires with too much air. Learn more about the Subaru Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek tire pressure below!

What Does the Subaru Tire Pressure Light Mean?

Every new Subaru vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that alerts you if and when your tire pressure falls outside the recommended range. What does this tire pressure mean when it comes on? It's usually telling you that one or more of your tires don't have enough air, but it might also come on if you've overfilled your tires by mistake.

The most likely cause of low tire pressure is a simple change in season: when the weather gets cold, air contracts-and this includes the air inside your tires. While drivers in Lake Mary and Altamonte Springs might not have to worry about the cold very often, it's also worth noting that heat can cause the air in your tires to expand. 

Under normal conditions, tires can lose up to 1 PSI per month. It might be necessary to refill your tires occasionally, even if you haven't had a puncture. If your Subaru Outback tire pressure light won't turn off after you've fixed the issue, it may need to be reset. We're happy to help, so don't wait to schedule service.

How To Check the Tire Pressure In Your Subaru

If your Subaru Forester tire pressure light comes on, just use a tire pressure gauge to check the air levels in all four of your tires, or all five, if your vehicle comes with a spare. 

To perform this check, unscrew the cap on each tire and carefully insert the gauge. The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle will be listed on a sticker on the inside of your driver's side door. Adjust the pressure as needed. Don't have a tire pressure gauge? You can pick one up at our parts department.
