What is the right tire pressure for a GMC Savana 1500?
It is generally recommended that a GMC Savana 1500 tire pressure is 35 psi for the front tires and 38 psi for the rear tires. It will be a good idea to confirm these numbers before filling up, though, so check your owner’s manual or the tire specs sticker found on the driver’s seat door jamb.
Different trim levels may have different tire pressure requirements, and the type of tires you have on your Savana may affect their needs too. High-performance tires, for example, will typically need a higher psi than your typical all-season wheels. You should always confirm the recommended tire pressure for your specific set of wheels.

How to check GMC Savana 1500 tire pressure
Happily, checking your GMC Savana 1500’s tire pressure is relatively simple. If your Savana comes with a digital infotainment setup, you may see your tire pressure for each tire displayed on the screen.
If not, no worries! All you’ll need is to
get a tire pressure gauge
(if you don’t already have one in your car’s emergency kit) from any auto supply store. Then uncap the air valve stems on each tire and simply push the head of the gauge onto the stem. If you can hear an obvious air hissing sound, you may need to readjust the gauge until it fits in place. Whatever reading the gauge gives you is the current tire pressure of that wheel. You could also take some tire pressure hints from the way your vehicle is performing. Is your gas mileage taking a dip? Have you noticed your steering getting a little wonky? It may be a good time to check on the tire pressure.
How often should you check tire pressure?
Head out to your GMC Savana 1500 about once a month or before any long trips to check the tire pressure. You will get the most accurate reading in the morning or after your vehicle has been off for at least three hours. Excess heat in the tires will change your tire pressure.
How to tell if your GMC Savana 1500 needs new tires
Generally, tires can last for about six years of continuous use before they’ll need to be swapped out. But that doesn’t mean your Savana’s tires won’t wear out before then so be sure to regularly give your wheels a once over to check for signs of wear.
Any cracking, bulging, low tread or punctures will signal the time for a change. If you’re not sure how to gauge how low your tread is, grab a regular US penny. Stick it in the tire tread with President Lincoln’s head side down—if you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is too low.
How to reset the GMC Savana 1500 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light
If your GMC Savana 1500 comes equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), you may run into the problem of an alert light staying on even after you’ve remedied the issue it’s alerting you to.
The TPMS light comes on to tell you when one or more of your tires is low on air and it should turn off once you fill them back up. If that doesn’t happen for you, though, you may have to reset the TPMS system. Here’s how:
- Turn the ignition on but don’t start the engine
- On your Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, press and hold both the Lock and Unlock buttons at the same time for five seconds; you’ll hear two quick honks from the horn and see a Tire Learning Active message appear
- Start from the driver’s side front tire and activate the TPMS sensor by adding or removing air from the air valve stem until you hear another honk from the horn
- Repeat that process for the rest of the tires, moving next to the front passenger tire, then the rear passenger tire, and finally the rear driver’s side tire
- Turn the ignition off
- Refill all four tires to the recommended tire pressure
The next time you turn your vehicle on, the tire pressure monitoring system should be reset! If you’re still seeing the alert, you may need to bring your Savana to a GMC dealer or your local mechanic for assistance.
