Toyota tyre pressure and size guide

Toyota wheels and tyres

This is our guide to Toyota tyre pressure and tyre advice. When it comes to car maintenance, many of us think only about oil changes and brake pads. However, tyres also deserve our attention, since they’re the only part of our vehicles that actually touch the road surface.

In this article we provide information concerning tyre law in the UK and on the continent (where motorway speeds can be higher) and inform you of the tyre sizes and preferred pressure levels for all models in the current Toyota passenger vehicle range.

Toyota tyre pressure and size guide

The tyre sizes and recommended general inflation pressures for all current models in the Toyota passenger vehicle range can be found in the table below. Inflation pressures for older models can usually be found either on one of the car’s B-pillars, on the inside of the glove box lid, or within the owner’s manual.

Toyota tyre pressure frequently asked questions

Toyota Tyre Pressure - 2020 Toyota Yaris wheel

1. What is the required tyre tread depth in the UK?

The UK government states that cars, light vans and light trailers must have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm and “there must be tread across the middle three-quarters and around the entire tyre.”*

2. Is there a general government recommendation for tyre pressure?

No, tyre pressure recommendations vary from car to car. Car manufacturers set the values for inflation levels.

3. Where can I check the pressures for my Toyota if it is not listed below?

The tyre pressure for your Toyota will be listed in the vehicle handbook and in the driver-side door recess.

4. What rules are there concerning tyre condition?

5. Are there any tyre-related laws that I should be aware of when driving on the continent?

Yes, but they are mainly concerned with the fitment of winter tyres. The European countries listed below legally enforce the use of winter tyres between the stated dates*. Minimum tread depths may also change in winter or from country to country, so it’s best to check local laws before you depart.

Austria1 November to 15 April
Estonia1 December to 28/29 February
Finland1 December to 28/29 February
GermanyIn adverse winter weather conditions
Latvia1 December to 28/29 February
NorwayIn adverse winter weather conditions winter tyres or chains must be used
Sweden1 December to 31 March
Mandatory winter tyre use in Europe*

6. Why do pressure levels vary depending on wheel size?

Pressures vary because larger diameter wheels use lower-profile tyres. Low profile tyres have less rolling resistance and drag than higher-walled tyres, so inflating them to the same level as high-profile rubber can give a harsh ride and increase road noise.

  1. My 2015 RAV4 18″ Wheels trying to find the tyre reset switch it is not where shown in the manual under the steering column slightly to the right, the indicator light came on pressure was down to 28psi on all tyres so corrected this now to 32psi will there be a need now to re set the switch ??

    1. Hi Michael,
      Thanks for getting in touch and sorry for the delay. It’s a black button, on a back panel in the foot well. Its somewhere where it cannot be accidentally pushed. If you are sitting in the drivers seat, its above your right shin. Hope this helps.

  2. The 2009 verso recommends 205 60 R16 92V. Can i fit 205 60 R16 96V XL rated tyres instead? If yes, would tyre pressure need to be adjusted?

    1. Hi Arup,
      Sorry for the delayed response. We can confirm that if the tyre is the same size however also labelled ‘XL’, this signifies that this is a reinforced tyre. Reinforced tyres are adapted to withstand loads and pressures greater than those laid down for standard tyres.
      For this reason, there should be no problem with fitting this tyre instead.
      For the tyre pressures, we’d advise taking a look at the Owner’s Manual or information sticker on the vehicle as normal. The you should use the same tyre pressures as the recommended, although keep in mind that if there is going to be additional load in the vehicle, set the pressures to the higher setting.
      Hope this helps.

    1. Hi Birruk,
      Thanks for getting in touch. The tyre pressure can be found on a sticker affixed to the door when you open it. It can also be found in the owners manual, however, as Toyota GB don’t sell the Vitz, we’d advise going to Toyota in your region. Hope this helps.

  3. Hello. I was wondering what would be the suitable tyre pressure (front/rear) for my toyota zelas 2.5L, tyre 215/50r17 91w. Given that its hot here in the middle east and only have 3 passengers maximum. Thank you in advance.🙏

    1. Hi, unfortunately we can only advise on Toyota’s that are sold in the UK. We would recommend contacting Toyota in your region for advice on this specific model. Thanks.

    1. Hi Afroz,
      Thanks for getting in touch.
      3rd Gen Prius has been made available with 215/45R17 tyres, therefore, we would only recommend the use of the 215/45R17 tyres.
      You can also find this information on TechDoc, if you would like to know for future use. Just visit: https://www.toyota-tech.eu.
      If you click on “Repair” and then click on “Tyre information”, you can enter your VIN or select the right model.
      We hope this helps.
      Thanks.

  4. Hello,

    I own a 2010 UK Toyota Hilux – Double Cab, 2.5l 4×4 model. I’m considering 255 width/70 Profile on 15″ rims. I want to know if I can put on wider tyres on larger wheels.

    The table above only shows 17″ and 18″ rims for a Hilux. What is the maximum and minimum tyre sizes (width, profile and rim) that I can use?

    1. Hi Ross,

      Thanks for getting in touch. If you could please provide a reg or VIN number then we will be able to assist you further.

      Thanks.

      Thanks for getting in touch. As the Toyota Alphard is not available in the UK market we cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to find the suggested tyre pressure, however, if you could please provide your VIN number, we can look into this further.

      Thanks.
