How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Chevrolet Impala
Check cold (parked 3+ hours) with a gauge. The recommended pressure depends on generation: ninth-generation cars (2009-2013) take 30 PSI on most fitments (32 PSI on the 18-inch wheels of 2009-2011 LTZ and SS), while the tenth and final generation (2014-2020) takes a uniform 35 PSI — check the year table for yours. Chevrolet discontinued the nameplate after 2020, so every Impala on the road is now a used car and its TPMS sensor batteries are approaching the end of their typical 5-10 year life.

Does tire pressure change with temperature?
Yes. For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI. This is why TPMS warning lights often come on during the first cold snap of autumn. The opposite is also true — tire pressure increases about 1 PSI per 10°F temperature rise. Always inflate to the recommended 35 PSI when tires are cold.
