Hey guys, got 1 simple question, how much psi I should have on my 07 H/B tire. I am currently running on 185/60/15 with around 35-39ish psi..is it to much? Cus when I set it to 32psi I feel like the steering wheel feels heavy so Iunno....just curious should I go back to 32? Or should I drop it to around 35ish?

I used to run the stock tires at 45 psi with no problem, and got 42,000 miles out of them. Ran some other tires at 50 psi.

What matters anyway is the max sidewall PSI which is listed on the side of your tire (typically 44psi). The 32 psi figure is just what Toyota recommends.

I have an 07 HB and run 32 PSI in front tires and 35 PSI in rear. I have 104,000 miles on rear tires and still not down to wear bars yet. Front gets around 60,000 before replacing.
The more pressure you have in tire the less contact with road. Something to think about in wet weather.
