Which one sounds natural?

Same-Technician9125
1. I have low pressure in the rear right tire. 2. The rear right tire has low psi. 3. The rear right tire has low pressure. 4. The pressure of the rear right tire is low. 5. The rear right tire’s pressure is low.

1 & 3 & 5 are best, but I would usually say it this way: > My right rear tire is getting flat. Or: > I need to put air in my right rear tire.

number 5 sounds the most natural (to me, an American, at least), but number 3 also works. if you're looking for other options, i'd personally say "My back right tire's pressure is low"

1 and 3 by far.

The pressure is low on my right rear tire.

Any of these are pretty natural sounding, honestly, but as others have said 1, 3, and 5 are the most natural sounding. I would also point out that I think almost everyone would say 'right rear tire' and not 'rear right tire.' You may already know that adjectives have to be in a certain order in English, (and if not, you do now) but I can't say why 'rear right' is the wrong order, only that it is the wrong order.

Right rear, not rear right.
