2025 PSI 41?

[CocoaJeff]

My horn doesn't chirp when I hit the recommended psi, either. That would be a nice feature.

Interesting. My horn doesn't chirp when I put 35 PSI in my tires. 3 years old already, sheesh lol

Your car isn't a 2015 Equinox. Actually when I heard the chirp I didn't know why it was doing it. Sorry???

I've had mine for a week but I'm on a cruise so I checked with my Chevy App. 34, 33, 33 and 33 psi. I am planning on staying at 35 psi on all 4 tires.

I had mine where yours were but I got tired of the low tire pressure alerts on the dash and the emails

It did it on all 4 tires but as far as I know it could just as easily have been an over pressure alerts. This is new to me for sure.

I have a 90 day-old 2025 Equinox; many frustrations(it shouldn’t be this hard). I’ve had the same frustrations with tire pressure…I’ve taken the middle ground of 37-38 PSI as a cold target. This is a mess…. 44psi is the tire max. 41 seems too close. TODAY, had 3 call to Chevy customer assistance: when looking at the DIC display of tire pressure, am I looking at the top of the vehicle or bottom. in other words…. On the DIC display, is the upper right tire the front left(i.e. looking at vehicle bottom) or the front right (as if looking down from the top). In 3 calls today — I got 3 answers — left, right and I don’t know.

My research — with deflation and inflation — the top right displayed is the LEFT FRONT TIRE. Any other insite???

I don't know what your graphic looks like, but on my '24, it clearly shows the back of the vehicle... making the tire locations obvious.

And yes, I need to add some air.

Consider yourself lucky.
My 2025 looks extremely different (supplier change?, GM’s software group?, I’ll try to attach. But…. Tomorrow I’m visiting dealer and service folks(oil change…) and I’m sure it will be a lively conversation.

And regarding the ‘placard’ question on the B-pillar… yes…my 2025 is the same. And I’ve had several interactions with Chevy Customer Assist… one advisor asked where the B-pillar was….thats okay….

 

[CocoaJeff]

Oh wow... yeah, I see what you mean. That's definitely a more confusing graphic. But I think you're right... since it appears that you are looking at the underside of the vehicle in the graphic, and the front of the vehicle appears to be at the top (based on mirror position and what looks like the front end), I would agree that the top right tire is the driver's side front tire.

I hope that you can get past all of the frustrations, and enjoy your Equinox. They're actually pretty nice cars.

 

[ricklack]

That graphic is confusing, appearing to show the car from the bottom.

Common sense would be that the LF would be on the top left. I checked the manual, it doesn't say, very odd. If you have an air pump I would let a few pounds out of the left front and see which position reports the change. Or, pump one up a bit and then check and lower it.

All my cars over the past few decades showed the top left to be the LF tire, I would be shocked if they changed it. Way to go Chevy!

I think around 2017 GM did away with the horn chirp and ability to re-learn tire positions by letting air out and airing them back up starting from the front left and working your way around.

You can do a tire position re-learn from the DIC on newer GMs, but you need a TPMS tool. The ~$10 ones off the amazon machine like this one supposedly work:

I used one like that for years, but it cost more back then.

I was looking at the 2025 manuals and it seems that either the gas or EV (maybe both, I forget) have a TPMS relearning feature built in - something about waiting 2 minutes or driving slowly below 20 mph. I don't have time to look now, but I was surprised to see it.

I looked at two 2025s today. A RS and LT.
The RS showed 35 PSI on the door frame and the LT showed 41 PSI.

Note that the MyChevrolet Android App will show a warning if the pressures are not 41. That happened with our 2025 Equinox LT as they had them for the older / other models at 35 or so.
…They corrected them to 41 after I reported that the app was flagging them.

my 2026 left the dealer with 34 in them. the next day they were at 33 and the car and app both went psycho giving me low pressure warnings. i put all tires up to 39 and now all appears well again.

 

[dequardo]

So much FUD here. Occam’s Razor. 1) Read the door placard. 2). Fill to that number. 3) Ignore all the ignorance here.

 

[Lee]

Ignore all the ignorance here.

I find most of the members here are very helpful and give good advice.

 

[ricklack]

I purchased a 2025 Equinox LT yesterday, and my app is saying that all 4 tires are low. They are at 34 PSI, yet the door says 41 PSI. I am very curious as to why the dealership would send a car out that is that far below the door PSI.

I think that I should have them at what the door frame says, but does the dealership think something different for a reason? I'm trying to decide if I need to add more air.

Thank you for any input.

My 2022 asks for 35 PSI and everytime i took it to the dealer for oil change they would lower it to 30 or 32 on all 4 tires. Of course my app would start barking at me that my tires were low.

I finally asked them to please stop lowering the air pressure. To my amazement, they listened to me!

Just pointing out that your dealer is not alone in ignoring the recommendations.
