Nissan Rogue Tire Pressure (Recommended PSI)
TL;DR
Nissan Rogue cold tire pressure varies by generation, trim, and wheel size (commonly 33-36 PSI front and 30-33 PSI rear on 2021+ models) - check your driver-door jamb sticker for the figure that applies to your exact car.
Why there is no single Rogue tire pressure figure
Nissan changes the recommended cold tire pressure by trim level and wheel/tire size within the same model year, so a number that is correct for one Rogue configuration can be wrong for another. The only figure guaranteed to match your car is printed on the yellow-and-white placard on the driver-side door jamb (visible when the door is open) or listed in the tire-pressure section of your owner's manual.
Third generation (2021-present, T33 platform)
Independent tire-pressure reference sites (tirepressure.com and others compiling placard data) consistently report a range for this generation rather than one fixed value: front tires generally fall between 33 and 36 PSI, and rear tires between 30 and 33 PSI, cold. Higher-trim Rogues on larger wheels (18 to 19 inch) tend to sit toward the lower end of that range, while base trims on smaller wheels often sit toward the higher end - but you should read the number for your specific trim off your own placard rather than assume.
Second generation (2014-2020)
We found only a single, unverified owner report (a 2015 Rogue SV with 17-inch Hankook tires citing 33 PSI) and no independent placard-data source corroborating a range for this generation. Rather than state a number we cannot confirm, we recommend checking your driver-door placard directly; on most Rogues of this era the placard sits in the same location as later models.
First generation (2008-2013)
We could not find a corroborated PSI figure for the first-generation Rogue from credible sources during this research pass. Do not rely on a generic guess for this generation - read the placard on your own vehicle or the tire-pressure page of the original owner's manual.
Where to find the correct number for your car
- Driver-side door jamb placard - the primary source, specific to your exact trim and tire size
- Owner's manual - the tire and wheel section repeats the placard figures and explains front/rear differences
- Tire sidewall - shows the tire's maximum pressure rating, not the vehicle's recommended cold pressure; do not confuse the two
- If towing or carrying a full load, check the manufacturer's loaded/towing pressure guidance, which is often higher than the standard placard figure
| Generation / years | Trim or tire size | Front (PSI) | Rear (PSI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third gen (2021-present) | Varies by trim/wheel size (range across sources) | 33-36 | 30-33 |
| Second gen (2014-2020) | SV, 17-inch (single unverified owner report) | 33 (unconfirmed) | 33 (unconfirmed) |
| Second gen (2014-2020) | All other trims/tire sizes | Check door placard | Check door placard |
| First gen (2008-2013) | All trims | Check door placard | Check door placard |
Summary
| Generation with confirmed range | Third gen, 2021-present |
|---|---|
| Front PSI (3rd gen, cold) | 33-36 (varies by trim/wheel size) |
| Rear PSI (3rd gen, cold) | 30-33 (varies by trim/wheel size) |
| 2nd gen (2014-2020) figure | Not independently confirmed - check placard |
| 1st gen (2008-2013) figure | Not found in credible sources - check placard |
| Authoritative source | Driver-door jamb placard and owner's manual |

Frequently asked questions
Is 35 PSI correct for every Nissan Rogue?
No. For the current (2021+) generation, credible references show a range of 33-36 PSI front and 30-33 PSI rear that varies by trim and wheel size, so 35 PSI may be right for some configurations but not others. Always check your own driver-door placard rather than assuming one number applies to every Rogue.
Why do the front and rear tires often have different recommended pressures?
Vehicles like the Rogue carry more weight over the front axle (engine, transmission, front-wheel-drive hardware), so manufacturers commonly specify a slightly higher front PSI than rear to balance handling, tire wear, and ride comfort across that weight distribution.
Where exactly is the tire pressure placard on a Rogue?
Open the driver's door and look at the door jamb (the vertical panel the door closes against, not the door itself); the placard is a yellow-and-white sticker listing tire size, front PSI, and rear PSI specific to your exact trim and original tire size.
Should I use the pressure printed on the tire's sidewall instead?
No - the sidewall number is the tire's maximum cold inflation pressure rating, not Nissan's recommended pressure for your vehicle. Always use the door-placard or owner's-manual figure for daily driving, and increase toward (but not necessarily to) the sidewall maximum only if the manufacturer's loaded or towing guidance calls for it.
