If you drive a Nissan Sentra, it’s recommended that you fill your front and rear tires with 33 pounds per square inch (PSI) of air.
Just like getting a routine
brake and suspension inspection
, regularly checking and maintaining your car’s recommended tire pressure is essential to safe driving. If your tires are not filled properly, it can not only turn your car into a gas guzzler, but negatively impact your ability to steer and up the risk of a blowout.
To help avoid these and keep you driving safely,
Jerry
has rounded up all the info you need to know about your Nissan Sentra’s tire pressure. We’ll go over how much you need, how to check your tire pressure, how to reset your tire pressure monitoring system, and even give you our best tips on how to use our

What is the right tire pressure for a Nissan Sentra?
For most model years and trims of the Nissan Sentra, it’s recommended that both front and rear tires have 33 psi of air. If you’re not sure or would like to double-check how much air your Sentra needs, you look it up in your owner’s manual or on the sticker on the driver’s side door jamb.
That said, some Sentras need different amounts of air in their tires depending on the model year and trim level. For example, Nissan Sentras with model years from 2013 to 2016 require 33 psi in the front tires, but 33 to 38 psi in the rear tires. If you drive the more fuel-efficient Nissan Sentra FE or the
Nissan Sentra S
, you’ll need 36 to 38 psi in both the front and rear tires .
The perfect amount of tire pressure also depends on the time of year. In the winter, tire pressure generally drops 1 psi per 10°F temperature decrease, so it’s recommended you fill your tires with 3 to 5 psi more air than you usually would.
Tire pressure recommendations for other Nissan vehicles
Vehicle | Front tire pressure | Rear tire pressure |
---|---|---|
2022 Nissan Altima | 32 psi | 32 psi |
2022 Nissan Versa | 33 psi | 33 psi |
2022 Nissan Juke | 33 psi | 30 psi |
2022 Nissan Leaf | 36 psi | 36 psi |

How to check Nissan Sentra tire pressure
Now that you’ve got a solid grasp on how much tire pressure your Sentra needs, how are you supposed to check to ensure it’s at the right level? If you drive a newer Sentra with an infotainment screen, you can verify your tire pressure from your driver’s seat. Simply pull up the tire pressure screen on your Sentra’s digital display screen.
If your Sentra is older and without a fancy display screen, you’ll have to grab a handy dandy
tire pressure gauge
to check the air levels. To use it, you’ll need to remove the valve stem cap on each tire and push the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem. The gauge will give you a reading letting you know how much air is in each of your tires. If you don’t already own a tire pressure gauge (which we’d recommend keeping in your glove compartment), you can check your tire pressure at your gas station’s air filling station.
When your car is truly low on tire pressure, it won’t be shy about letting you know. A bumpier ride, clunky steering, and overall decreased vehicle performance are all telltale signs that you should check your tire pressure.
How often should you check tire pressure?
We’d recommend that you check your tire pressure once a month. Or, if you have a
road trip
coming up, it’s wise to check your tire pressure before you hit the road.
How to tell if your Nissan needs new tires
You should swap out your Nissan Sentra’s tires once every six years. But, if you spot any low tread depth or cracks and bulges in your tires, it may be time to get new tires a little ahead of schedule.
Checking tread depth is easier than it sounds–all you need is a penny! Stick the coin Lincoln’s-head-first into the tire thread. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, that means that you need new tires.

How to reset the Nissan Sentra tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light
Getting in your car and seeing a lit-up
dashboard light
is never ideal. But, even if your tire pressure monitoring system (TPSM) clicks off, you refill your tires, and the light still won’t turn off, you’ll need to
reset the tire pressure monitoring system
.
Before you try anything else, try driving for about 10 minutes at 50 mph or above. After doing this, turn your car off and back on again, and the tire pressure monitoring system should reset itself.
If that didn’t do the trick, turn the key of your Sentra to the on position, but don’t start the car (this is known as putting your car in accessory mode). Then locate the tire pressure reset button underneath the steering wheel. Press and hold the button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release. The next time you start up your car, wait 20 minutes for the sensors to recalibrate.
If neither method does the trick, it may be time to take your Nissan to a mechanic to diagnose the issue properly.
How to save on Nissan Sentra insurance
Regularly checking your tire pressure is a great way to maintain safe driving. Another critical component of keeping your vehicle safe is equipping it with a great
car insurance
policy. But, finding your perfect policy can feel a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack: you don’t want to compromise your coverage needs, but need a policy that won’t break the bank either. Enter:

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit and the CHECK TIRE PRES warning is displayed in the odometer, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, refer to “Low tire pressure warning light” in the “Instruments and controls” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driving” section, and “Flat tire” in the “In case of emergency” section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the spare) often and always prior to long distance trips. The recommended tire pressure specifications are shown on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label or the Tire and Loading Information label under the “Cold Tire Pressure” heading.
The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because:
The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
The “TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert” provides visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for inflating tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure. For more information, see “TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert” in the “Starting and driving” section.
Incorrect tire pressure, including under inflation, may adversely affect tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
|
Tire and loading information label
Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate speeds. The recommended cold tire inflation is set by the manufacturer to provide the best balance of tire wear, vehicle handling, driveability, tire noise, etc., up to the vehicle’s GVWR.
Checking tire pressure
Recheck the pressure and add or release air as needed.
