Tire pressure? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Mine are around 40 - 42 psi. That rides best to me. Not sure how it affects mpg, it's just what's comfortable to me. I can really tell when they get low.

Fuel efficiency is all about many tactics adding up to significant gains. Tire pressure is one of the larger factors.

Too high. You'll have a blowout on a hot day. Your tires are a ticking timebomb.

That's what I run mine at and that is the maximum the handbook recommends. I feel that 40-42 psi is perfect.
