Yaris Tire Pressure Help
Hello everyone
I am new to this forum and just recently bought my first car. It is a 2007 Toyota Yaris 1 Ltr My question is if anyone knows what the standard tired pressure should be for the my car? I think it is 32psi but I would be grateful if you could help me. Thanks for reading :) |

The tires have a max pressure number on them. I use that minus 2lbs for (what I feel is) best grip and best fuel mileage, without overstressing the tires.

too-high pressure, best mileage, no grip, improper tire wear too-low pressure: better grip in a straight line (softer sidewall) but worse grip laterally (softer sidewall) improper tire wear optimal pressure: best compromise of economy and grip.

"Optimal pressure: best compromise of economy and grip." I thought that is what I said; it is what I meant to say. I am getting good grip and excellent FE by running my OEM tires ~4lbs over recommended pressure, with no unusual tire wear pattern.
Then the whole thing goes sideways when you see what the hyper-miler guys are running! |

This is what you said. I don't know about your tyres, but mine indicate a maximum tyre pressure of 50PSI. So, 50-2 = 48PSI... which would be somewhat overinflated. If I inflated my tyres to 48PSI, I'd be bouncing all over the road like a basketball!

Should have a label affixed to the driver's door jamb that indicates tyre pressures and loads. Label on my Vitz clearly indicates 32PSI front/rear.
