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?

Your tyres should be free from certain cuts and other defects such as uneven tread wear and foreign objects, such as nails.

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. Hi Prasad,

      Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, we don’t store information on cars in other markets and are unable to provide an accurate answer. We would recommend getting in touch with Toyota in your region for further help on this.

      Thanks.

    1. Hi Andrew,

      Thanks for getting in touch. Before we look into this further for you, usually the tyre pressures will be on a sticker you can see when you open the front driver’s side or passenger side door. However, if this isn’t visible please get back in touch and we can check with our team.

      Thanks.

      1. Hi . Thanks got the response . I have checked both the drivers and passengers doors when open and there is no sticker anywhere with such infomation. Please can you advise

        Regards Andy

      2. Hi,

        That’s strange! We’ve checked the owner’s manual for your vehicle and can see that the front tyre pressure should remain at 35psi but the rear tyres should be increased from 33psi to 35psi.

        Thanks, and enjoy your trip.

      3. you should find the sticker in the glove compartment, as that is where mine is on my corolla verso 2005 model

      4. Also as you would be using a trailer, you need to add extra air into tyres.
        so they would be at 2.6 bar (37.8 psi} on both front and rear tyres.

    1. Hi there,

      Thanks for getting in touch. The recommend front tyre pressure is 2.5 bar or 36 psi, and the recommended rear tyre pressure is 2.4 bar or 35 psi.

      Thanks.

    1. Hi Sania,

      The recommended tyre pressure for driving below 100mph is 2.2 bar or 32 psi for the front pressure and 2.2 bar or 32 psi for the rear pressure.

      Thanks.

    1. Hi Ben,

      Thanks for your message. The recommended tyre pressure for driving below 100mph is 2.2 bar or 32 psi for the front wheel pressure and 2.2 bar or 32 psi for the rear wheel pressure.

      Thanks.

  7. The right pressure is only one element of safety driving and the right tyres for conditions are another one. Problem is there’s no choice for my C-HR with 225/50R18 and factory fitted Primacy 3 tyres are quite poor. Where I live typical winter have temperatures in region of 4-12C with a few mild frost spells and lots of rain. Winter tyres are not safer on warm rainy days and we often try to avoid driving on compacted snow. I used to use Crossclimate tyres which are best suited for rain and fresh snow, but Michalin won’t produce them for size Toyota chose for my car. Arbitrarily chosen too narrow or too high tyre profile then most other cars on the market have, means I have to compromise with my safety. There’re at least 3 other models with this tyre size, but they tend to have run flat tyres by default.

      4. Hello Ilias, thank you for your comment.

        We’re not sure which model you are referring to but this is something that your local Toyota Centre can look into for you.
        Alternatively, if you can provide us with a UK VIN we can check on this.

        Thanks.
