Chevrolet Tracker Tire Pressure (Recommended PSI)
TL;DR
Confirmed figure: 35 PSI front/rear for 2013-2019 Tracker LTZ/Premier trims on 18-inch (215/55R18) tires. For other trims and the current generation, read the sticker on the driver's door jamb - it is the only figure GM certifies for your exact car.
What we could verify
The Chevrolet Tracker sold in Brazil and across Latin America is a different vehicle from the North American Tracker of the late 1990s/early 2000s (a rebadged Suzuki Vitara) and from the US-market Trax. This page covers the Brazil/LatAm crossover Tracker (first generation, 2013-2019, built on the GM Gamma/Trax platform).
For the 2013-2019 generation with 18-inch wheels (215/55R18 tire size) - which includes the LTZ, 1.4 Turbo LTZ, and Premier trims - four separate model-year records (2015, 2016/2017, 2017, 2018) independently agree on the same figure: 35 PSI (2.4 bar) front and rear, with no change recommended between an unloaded and a fully loaded vehicle.
Where the data runs out
Entry-level trims of the same generation equipped with 16-inch wheels (215/65R16 tire size) are commonly sold with a different, lower placard pressure, but the specific figure could not be confirmed from a reliable source at the time of writing. Likewise, the redesigned second-generation Tracker (2020-present, sharing its platform with the Onix/Trailblazer family and typically wearing 215/55R17 tires) very likely carries its own placard value, but no corroborated PSI figure was found for it. We are not stating a number for either case rather than guessing.
Where to find your exact number
Tire pressure varies by trim, wheel/tire size, and sometimes by load condition, even within the same model year. The only number that is correct for your specific car is printed by the manufacturer in two places:
- The placard on the driver's door jamb (visible when the door is open) - this lists front and rear PSI for the exact tire size fitted at the factory.
- The owner's manual, usually in the same section as vehicle weights and towing capacity.
If your car has been fitted with aftermarket or different-size wheels than the factory original, the door placard figure may no longer apply - ask your tire installer for the corrected pressure for that tire size.

Frequently asked questions
Is 35 PSI correct for every Chevrolet Tracker?
No. That figure is confirmed only for the 2013-2019 (first generation) Tracker on 18-inch wheels with 215/55R18 tires, such as the LTZ and Premier trims. Other trims, wheel sizes, and the redesigned 2020-plus Tracker may use a different pressure - always check your own driver's door placard before relying on any published number.
Where exactly is the tire pressure placard located?
Open the driver's door and look at the door jamb (the frame the door closes against, not the door itself). It is usually a white or silver sticker listing front and rear cold tire pressure in PSI and kPa, along with the original-equipment tire size.
Should I use the pressure printed on the tire's sidewall instead?
No. The number molded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum pressure rating, not the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure. Always use the door placard or owner's manual figure, which is set for ride, handling, and load capacity specific to your car.
Does the tire pressure change if the car is fully loaded?
On the confirmed 2013-2019 18-inch-wheel Tracker records, the same 35 PSI applies whether the car is empty or loaded. Some other GM models specify a higher rear pressure when carrying passengers or cargo, so check your placard for a separate loaded-condition value if one is listed.
