Tire pressure is a key component in maintaining your vehicle, and it’s easy for you to keep an eye on. Incorrectly inflated tires, either too high or too low, can lead to poor handling, decreased fuel efficiency, and can increase your chances of having a blowout—which could not only cost a lot in repairs, but also risk your safety.

What is the right tire pressure for the Kia Telluride?

The recommended tire pressure for the Kia Telluride is between 35 and 37 psi for both front and rear tires. It’s always best to double check your owner manual and the sticker on the driver’s side door interior frame to confirm this number. And note that if you opt to change the tires on your vehicle through secondary services, you should confirm what the air pressure should be for those new tires.

The Kia Telluride is a fairly new addition to the Kia lineup. It was initially released in 2019 and has grown in popularity ever since. If you own a Telluride or are planning on purchasing one, it’s important that you’re aware of not only the proper tire pressure but also how to maintain it.

One quick note before we move on to checking and maintaining the tire pressure for your Telluride: the numbers in this article refer to the standard all-season tires on the Kia Telluride. The specifications will likely be different if you plan on using seasonal tires, so be sure to ask the dealership or tire shop about proper maintenance for any other tires you choose to use on your SUV.

How to check Kia Telluride tire pressure

There are two easy ways to check the tire pressure on your Kia Telluride. The first is using the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The second is manually checking the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge.

Most Kia Tellurides come equipped with an integrated TPMS, which will not only show you when your tire pressure is low, but it will also show you how much pressure there is in each tire. This feature is on the LCD dash, not the infotainment system, so you’ll have to navigate to it using the controls on the steering wheel.

If the TPMS senses low tire pressure, it will light the warning signal and automatically bring up the tire pressure screen so you can easily see which tire is low and how low it is. Since the TPMS in the Kia Telluride uses a direct TPMS if a tire is installed without a sensor, it will be lit up on the display because it does not have a reading.

If you want to confirm the TPMS reading, you can check your tire pressure manually using a tire pressure gauge. These can be digital or analog but are both equally effective. It’s recommended that you check tire pressure when the tires are cool, and it’s best to wait overnight if you can.

To check manually, locate the valve on your tire. You’ll need to remove the valve cap and then firmly place the tire pressure gauge onto the valve. You’ll hear a brief rush of air, but the reading should come up nearly instantaneously. Confirm that it’s between 35 and 37 psi for your Kia Telluride and you’re good to go.

How often should you check tire pressure?

It’s recommended that you check your tire pressure at least once a month even if you aren’t noticing any problems such as difficulty with handling or decreased fuel efficiency.

How to tell if your Kia Telluride needs new tires

New tires are recommended every six years or after 50,000 miles. To get the most out of your tires and keep you safe, be sure to stay on top of your tire maintenance. If you notice cracks or bubbling on the tires or if there’s low tread depth it could be a sign that you’ll need to replace the tires.

How to reset the Kia Telluride Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

There are two ways to

reset your Kia Telluride TPMS

. The first: inflate all the tires to at least 35 psi and drive around on them. The second: bring your car to a Kia dealership.

The TPMS is designed to automatically reset and turn off the warning light when the system recognizes that all the tires are at the recommended pressure. The Telluride can’t do this instantly, so after filling your tires, restart the SUV and drive. In about 15 minutes (if you’re constantly driving between 30 mph to 60 mph), the warning light should have gone off.

If the warning light doesn’t go off that means there’s something wrong with your Telluride’s TPMS or that one of your tires has a leak that’s causing it to lose air. Either way, the fix is to bring your car into the dealership or a reputable mechanic and have them take a look at the system and your tires.

Maintaining tire pressure is easier with a functional TPMS, so make sure that if you notice a potential malfunction, you have it checked as soon as you can.
