We hashed this all out in another thread that you can search for if you'd like deeper information, but here's the skinny:
Max sidewall pressure is the *minimum* pressure you should use on the Yaris. Several of us on CleanMPG.com run the RE92's at 60 PSI and have gotten not only nice MPG increases (due to lower rolling resistance) but much greater life out of the tires (the first of us to go to 60 PSI just hit 85,000 miles on the original tires - that's unheard of at 32 PSI). Toyota's recommendation of 32 PSI is based solely on a comfortable, cushy ride rather than anything to do with performance, stability, tire wear, etc.
