Subaru tire pressures
Subaru Crosstrek tire pressure
The cold tire pressures Subaru prints in its owner's manuals for each Crosstrek tire size, by generation — Crosstrek (3rd gen) (2024 on), Crosstrek (2nd gen, GT) (2018–2023) and XV Crosstrek (1st gen, GP) (2013–2017). Find your tire size on the sidewall, then read across.

Notes from the owner's manuals
- 225/60R17 99H: One pressure cell spans all three sizes in the 2025 manual. The manual also prints kgf/cm2 (not bar); bar left null rather than converted.
- 225/60R17 99T: The manual also prints kgf/cm2 (not bar); bar left null rather than converted.
- 225/55R18 98V: The manual also prints kgf/cm2 (not bar); bar left null rather than converted.
What the owner's manuals don't say
- No MY2024 Crosstrek manual found on techinfo.subaru.com; only the 2025 edition was read.

Notes from the owner's manuals

- 225/55R18 98H: Same in the 2021 manual (U13). The manual also prints kgf/cm2 (not bar); bar left null rather than converted.
What the owner's manuals don't say
- Crosstrek Hybrid (plug-in, MY2019-2023) manuals were not read.

What the owner's manuals don't say
- Only the 2016 XV Crosstrek Hybrid manual was found on techinfo.subaru.com; the non-hybrid XV Crosstrek manuals (MY2013-2017) were not, so the non-hybrid size and pressures are not recorded.
- The Hybrid manual lists no temporary spare tire.
Figures marked "Owner's manual" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the manual prints. Nothing here has been checked against your vehicle: if it disagrees with the placard on the door jamb, the placard wins.

Tire pressure questions
What should the tire pressure be on a Subaru Crosstrek?
It depends on the tire size. For the sizes Subaru lists, the cold pressure is 32–33 psi at the front and 30–32 psi at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tires cold.
What size tires does a Subaru Crosstrek take?
Subaru fitted the Crosstrek with 225/55 R17, 225/60 R17 and 225/55 R18, depending on the model year and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tire; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tire pressure placard on a Subaru Crosstrek?
On the driver's door jamb — the Tire and Loading Information placard. It gives the same cold pressures as the owner's manual, which is where the figures on this page come from; if the two ever disagree, go by the placard on your vehicle.
