Nissan Titan Tire Pressure

Both the front and rear tires on a Nissan titan should be inflated to 35 to 36 psi—but what if your tire pressure monitoring system is on the fritz?

background
For a Nissan Titan, both the front and rear tires have a recommended tire pressure of 35 to 36 pounds per square inch (psi).
Out of all the lights that can pop up on your dashboard, the “low tire pressure” light has got to be one of the most annoying. The upside, though, is that it’s probably the easiest to get rid of. Keeping your tires properly inflated is an important (and easily overlooked) part of keeping your vehicle healthy and efficient.
If you’re curious about your Nissan Titan’s tire pressure, then you’ve come to the right place.

What is the right tire pressure for a Nissan Titan?

The recommended tire pressure for a Nissan Titan is 35 to 36 psi for both front and rear tires. You can also find your recommended psi in the owner’s manual and printed on the inside of the driver’s side door.
Sometimes, though, you might be in a position where you want or need to alter your tire pressure. During cold or wintry conditions, for example, it’s prudent to raise your psi by three pounds or so (38 to 39 psi) because colder temperatures cause your tire pressure to quickly drop. 
Conversely, if you’re on a beach vacation and want to drive on the sand, you’ll need to reduce your psi to around 20 if you don’t want to get stuck.
Finally, if you’ve ever considered installing high-performance tires, make sure to check the recommended tire pressure—it might be different from standard street tires.

How to check Nissan Titan tire pressure

Not sure exactly how to check your tire pressure? There are two main ways to find out, and both are very simple. If you’re driving a newer model Titan, you should be able to see your tire pressure levels on your center display screen. In addition, your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) should display the low tire pressure light if your tires need to be pumped up.
If you own an older Titan or your display screen is on the fritz, no sweat! Checking your tire pressure is still a simple matter—all you have to do is remove the valve stem cap on each tire and place a
tire pressure gauge
onto the valve stem. 
The gauge should display how much psi is in the tire and whether you need to add or remove air. Just so you know, if you ever lose your personal tire pressure gauge, there should be one that you can use at your nearest gas station’s air-filling station.
Even without readouts, your vehicle has other ways of telling you that your tires are low. Keep an eye out for troubled steering, an uneven ride, or a dip in fuel economy—decreased performance is usually a sign that your Titan’s tire pressure is low.

How often should you check tire pressure?

You should get into the habit of checking your tire pressure once a month or before any major road trips.

How to tell if your Nissan Titan needs new tires

For the most part, your Nissan Titan will need new tires roughly every six years, but you should still check your treads for wear and tear whenever you check your tire pressure. If you ever notice low tread depth or weird cracks and bulges on your tires, it’s time to retire them and get a new set.
A good trick to check your tread depth is the classic penny method—stick a US penny head-first (sorry, Mr. President) into your tire’s tread. If you can still see the top of Honest Abe’s head, then you need new tires.

How to reset the Nissan Titan tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light

It seems to happen to everyone, but have you ever noticed that sometimes that darn TPMS light simply won’t turn off? If you’ve properly inflated your tires but the TPMS light is still on, you’ll probably have to
reset your TPMS
Driving around for 10 minutes at 50 mph after putting air in your tires can do a soft reset on your system, but if that doesn’t work, you might have to try a full reset.
To fully reset your TPMS, follow these steps:
  • With the engine off, turn your key to the “On” position but do not start the car
  • Locate the TPMS reset button, usually found beneath or near the steering wheel
  • Hold down the button until the light on the dashboard blinks three times
  • Release the button and start the ignition
  • Wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh
  • TPMS light should now be off
