What is the right tire pressure for a Chrysler 200?
There’s no one absolute tire pressure for all Chrysler 200s. The right tire pressure for your 200 will depend on both its model year and the tire size. Chrysler 200s with model years between 2011 and 2014 should be filled with 32 PSI of air in both the front and rear tires, but it gets a little more complicated for the later 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years.
If you drive a Chrysler with a model year of 2015, 2016, or 2017, your tires will need anywhere between 32 and 38 PSI of air pressure. To be absolutely certain how much air the tires on your specific Chrysler 200 need, check the sticker on the drivers side door jamb or in your owner’s manual.

How to check Chrysler 200 tire pressure
Now that you know how much tire pressure your Chrysler 200 needs, how are you supposed to check and make sure it’s at the right level? Newer Chrysler 200s are equipped with dashboard displays that can tell you exactly how many pounds per square inch of air are in all of your tires (except the spare). You can use the controls on your steering wheel to navigate to the screen that has that information.
Or, if you or your Chrylser 200 aren’t the most tech savvy, you can check your tire pressure the old fashioned way: with
a tire pressure gauge
. To do so, first 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, telling you whether you need to add or remove air in your tires. If you don’t have a tire pressure gauge in your glovebox (which we highly recommend you keep in there!), you can head down to your gas station’s air filling station—which will have a tire pressure gauge for you to use. How often should you check tire pressure?
It’s recommended that you check your tire pressure at least once a month and before any road trips.
How to tell if your Chrysler 200 needs new tires
Tires should be swapped out every six years or so. That said, we’d recommend you check on your tires when you check your tire pressure. After all, you’re already crouched down there! Keep an eye out for low tread depth or odd cracks and bulges in the tire, which indicate that it’s time for a new set.
Checking your tire tread depth is pretty easy—all you need is a US penny! Stick the coin Lincoln’s-head-first into the tire tread. If you can spot the top of Old Abe’s head, your tire treads are too shallow.

How to reset the Chrysler 200 tire pressure monitoring system (TPSM)
Your Chrysler 200 comes equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that communicates to you (in the form of a lit-up tire pressure light) that there’s not enough air in your tires. But, if you’ve just topped off your tires and the light still won’t turn off, you may have to
reset your TPMS
. Thankfully, the Chrysler 200 will reset itself! All you need to do is drive for 20 minutes for at least 15 mph, and the tire pressure monitoring system should reset itself. Queue up a nice 6 or so song playlist, and once it’s finished that pesky tire pressure light should flip off automatically.
However, if that doesn’t do the trick, there could be a larger and more complex issue with your Chrysler’s electrical wiring system. If your tire pressure light blinks for one minute when you first start up your car and remains illuminated while you’re driving, that’s your Chrysler’s way of trying to tell you that there’s a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system. And, in that case, you should take your car in to see a mechanic.
