Tire pressures and TPMS set - Toyota Yaris Forums

justanotherdrunk · 02-01-2016, 02:57 PM

I was sure that the dealer blew off the mismatched front/ rear tire pressures on the SE ...

... because I've bought new cars before where the pressures were WWAAYY off !!!

I was wrong.

They were within 1/2 psi at all 4 corners

With a nice, new digital gauge (<$10 at Kragens) - not a crappy, 45 year old, grease monkey plunger type

I set 'em all 1 psi high and successfully reset the TPMS with the button under the dash.

Not to be a jerk

my experience has been the huge majority of drivers don't understand that the correct pressures are obtained from the door sill sticker -- not from the tire.
