The correct tire pressure for a Subaru Crosstrek ranges from 32 PSI to 36 PSI. If you check your owner’s manual or the sticker on the inside of the driver’s side door provides the recommended tire pressure, you’ll see that recommendation is 33 PSI for the front tires and 32 PSI for the rear tires. All Subaru Crosstreks are equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD).
The exact tire pressure for your Subaru Crosstrek may vary depending on the model you drive. If you drive the Crosstrek Hybrid, the recommended tire pressure is 36 PSI for the front tires and 35 PSI for the rear tires.
If you plan on switching up your Crosstrek’s tires—like putting snow tires on in the winter, this may also require you to adjust the PSI. Be sure to follow the PSI specifications on the new tires when you put them on your Crosstrek.

How to check Subaru Crosstrek tire pressure
The Crosstrek is equipped with modern technology that makes it possible to monitor your tire pressure right from the driver’s seat.
On the lower left-hand side of your steering wheel, you’ll see a set of buttons that have arrows on them. By pressing either the up or down arrow button, you can toggle through settings on your display screen. Click through the settings until you see the one that displays the PSI for all four wheels.
If your Crosstrek has been sitting awhile, you may notice that there are no numbers displayed. Don’t worry, that’s just your vehicle’s way of preserving the battery life of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Take the Crosstrek for a little spin around the block—this should trigger the display screen to read the PSI for each individual tire.
If the digital read of the PSI for any of your tires is low, you should still check it manually. To do so, start by removing the valve system cap of the tire and putting it somewhere safe. Then, place a
tire pressure gauge
on the valve stem and firmly press down to read the PSI. The gauge reading will let you know if you need to fill your tire with more air. It’s a good idea to manually check all four tires.
How often should you check tire pressure?
Once a month is a good timeframe to check your Crosstrek tire pressure. You should also gauge the tire pressure before you do any off-roading or road-tripping.
How to tell if your Subaru Crosstrek needs new tires
Tires that are bald, have low tread, or are wearing unevenly need to be replaced. You should expect to replace your Subaru Crosstrek’s tires once every six years or so.

How to reset the Subaru Crosstrek tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light
If you’re regularly keeping tabs on your Subaru Crosstrek’s tire pressure but you still keep seeing the TPMS warning light on your dashboard you’re going to need to
reset your TPMS
.This is a pretty common gripe with a lot of vehicles—not just Subaru’s—but luckily Subaru makes it very simple to fix. Sometimes, all you need to do is drive your Crosstrek at about 50 miles per hour for a total of ten minutes to reset the tire pressure sensors. After you’ve done this, the TPMS light should no longer be on the next time you start your vehicle.
If that doesn’t do the trick it’s ok! Another option for resetting the TPMS light is to do the following:
- Turn the key towards you without starting the engine
- Hold the TPMS reset button until you see the warning light blink three times
- Start the car and let it run for about 20 minutes so that the sensors have time to reset
If you’ve tried these methods but cannot rid yourself of that pesky TPMS light it’s probably worth your while to have it looked at by an experienced mechanic or a local Subaru dealership.
