What is your stock tire pressure? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yarus Maximus · 07-19-2010, 09:28 AM

My stock Toyota tires are set to the recommended 32 psi. Is yours at a different pressure? How much and why?

djct_watt · 07-19-2010, 10:21 AM

41psi. . .

. . . because of prolonged speeds over 130kph, mileage, and tire longevity (I always wear out the outsides of the tire first and over-inflation gives we even wear).

40

little more mpg

little less wallow

I have used 40 psi x 4 on all my vehicles since 1982. it is just what I do has nothing
to do with vehicle type or use.

I will deflate for sand and special circumstances

At 40 psi my dashboard rattled when driving over bumps. Have you experienced more noise at that pressure?

marcus · 07-19-2010, 10:46 AM

42psi on stock tires.

No rattles, except some from the hatch that have always been there.

Yaris sedan here, i try to keep it at 35psi.

But my door jam says 32 psi on all four tires...

TwoBearWisconsin · 07-19-2010, 12:48 PM

40 psi on all four for me.

fearturtle44 · 07-19-2010, 01:28 PM

I keep mine at 32-33. Stock tires lasted 40,000 and now have a 60,000 tire which I am also keeping at 32-33. Got nitrogen this time. Might be a waste but wanted to try.

Yaris Hilton · 07-19-2010, 04:23 PM

44 PSI. I've run all my tires at max sidewall pressure as long as I've driven.

At 40+ PSI, my car bouces all over the road like a basketball!

That's the secret to uber gas mileage. Get the car bouncing, shut off the engine, and watch her bounce down the road, gas free.

35psi

eTiMaGo · 07-20-2010, 02:27 PM

35psi... I tried 40+ on my old 18" wheels, it really made it a lot more harsh and not a noticeable mileage improvement. Might try it again on these 15" wheels after a couple more tanks...

I run 60 PSI year round for both lower rolling resistance and much stiffer performance in the switchbacks in the mountains here.

Folks on this forum go ape shit every time I bring this up so be prepared for a thread derailment, but the only things I'll say are that I've never had a problem with this, it brought greater longevity to my tires, and I've even avoided becoming the 4th car in a 3 car accident thanks to my preparedness and alertness as well as the car's agile handling, even at 60 PSI. I even had a big puncture from a gnarly piece of metal I picked up and it didn't act any differently than blowing a tire at 35 PSI.

It just works, so get over it.

KrazyDawg · 07-20-2010, 06:02 PM

Max side well of 44 PSI. Higher tire pressure is safer than lower tire pressure. You have an increased chance of having a blow out with a lower tire pressure. Lower rolling resistance and increased longevity are the result of a higher tire pressure. When you adapt your driving for DFCO, it makes you more aware of the road ahead.

Note: For every 10 degree change in temperature in Farenheit, it's 2 PSI.

centrysis · 07-20-2010, 07:18 PM

my tires arent stock but I keep mine at the max pressure of 44 psi.i'm running 215/35/18's though

R2D2 · 07-20-2010, 07:25 PM

I run mine at 60 psi as well. Might be a tad more road noise but the car rolls freely and handles great.
