Nissan March Tire Pressure (Recommended PSI)
TL;DR
Multiple corroborated sources put the Micra K13 platform (same generation as the Brazilian March) at 33 PSI front and rear across trims and wheel sizes. We could not independently corroborate a Brazil-specific placard figure, so treat 33 PSI as a reliable reference point, not a substitute for your own car's placard.
Verified pressure for the Nissan March (Brazil / Latin America)
The Nissan March sold in Brazil and across Latin America from 2011 to 2020 shares its platform and running gear with the globally-sold Nissan Micra K13. Independent tire-pressure references for the Micra K13 show 33 PSI cold, front and rear, and this figure holds consistently across the S, SV, and SR trims and across both the 15-inch (185/60R15) and 16-inch (185/55R16) tire sizes, for the 2015, 2017, and 2020 model years checked. No source we reviewed showed a front/rear split for this generation.
Why we are not stating a separate Brazil-only number
We were not able to find a credible, independently verifiable source for the placard sticker printed specifically on Brazilian-market March units (2011-2014 pre-facelift, or the 2015-2020 facelifted version). Because tire fitment, load ratings, and running changes sometimes differ by market even within the same generation, we are not inventing a Brazil-specific PSI figure. The 33 PSI value below is the best-corroborated figure for this generation worldwide and is a strong starting reference, but your own car's placard is the final authority.
Where to find the correct number for your car
- The driver's door jamb placard (open the driver's door and look at the pillar) - this is the manufacturer's specific figure for your exact trim and tire size as built.
- The owner's manual, usually in the maintenance or wheels-and-tires section.
- The tire sidewall only tells you the maximum pressure the tire can hold - never use that as your driving pressure.
Pressure table (cold, PSI)
| Generation / years | Trim or tire size | Front (PSI) | Rear (PSI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| March / Micra K13, 2011-2020 (Brazil/LatAm platform match) | S / SV, 185/60R15 | 33 | 33 |
| March / Micra K13, 2011-2020 (Brazil/LatAm platform match) | SR / top trim, 185/55R16 | 33 | 33 |
| March, Brazil-specific placard (2011-2014, pre-facelift) | Not independently corroborated | Check door placard | Check door placard |
| March, Brazil-specific placard (2015-2020, facelift) | Not independently corroborated | Check door placard | Check door placard |
General tips for correct inflation
Check pressure only when tires are cold, meaning the car has not been driven for at least three hours or has traveled less than a couple of kilometers. Adjust for a full load or a spare if your placard lists a separate figure for those conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What PSI should I put in my Nissan March tires?
The most reliable cross-market figure for this generation (shared with the Nissan Micra K13) is 33 PSI cold, front and rear, on both the 15-inch and 16-inch tire sizes. Still, check your own driver's door placard first, since Brazilian-market units may carry a locally specific figure we could not independently verify.
Does the Nissan March use a different pressure for front and rear tires?
In every source we checked for this generation, front and rear pressures were identical (33 PSI). We found no evidence of a front/rear split for the March or its Micra K13 sibling, but always confirm on your own placard since running changes can occur.
Does tire size change the recommended pressure on the March?
Across the sources we reviewed, both the smaller 185/60R15 wheel (base trims) and the larger 185/55R16 wheel (higher trims) used the same 33 PSI figure. Larger or aftermarket wheels not originally fitted to your trim may require a different pressure, so check the tire's load rating in that case.
Where is the official tire pressure sticker on a Nissan March located?
Open the driver's door fully and look at the door pillar (the B-pillar area you see when the door is open) - the placard there lists the exact factory-specified cold pressure for your car's original tire size and load, and is the authoritative source over any generic web figure.
