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.

      Thanks for getting in touch. We have found the following information for your Aygo:

      Tire size – 155/65R14 75T
      Cold tire inflation pressure (for 1KR-FE)

      Driving below 160 km/h (100 mph) = 220 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm2, 32 psi)

      Driving over 160 km/h (100 mph) = 230 kPa (2.3 kgf/cm2, 34 psi)

      Thanks.

      Our system tells us that your vehicle has 15″ wheels, so we recommend 2.3 bar or 33 psi for the front and 2.2 bar or 32 psi for the rear.

      Thanks

    1. Hi Sarath,
      Thanks for getting in touch with us.
      The recommended tyre pressure for your Prius Plus depends on the size of tyres it has fitted.
      Our records show that your vehicle was fitted in the factory with 205/60 R16 tyres.
      If the fitted tyres are still 205/60 R16 tyres, then the recommended pressure is 2.5 bar or 36 PSI, but if they are 215/50 R17 tyres, then the recommended pressure is 2.3 bar or 33 PSI.
      Thanks.

      2. Hi Sarah,
        Thanks for your reply.
        Yes, as the same tyre size is on the front and the rear, the recommended pressure is the same.
        Thanks.

  9. Hi! Quick question… for. Yaris R16, the recommended pressure is 32/29; I find tires lose pressure (2psi) every week. I was considering to use 35/30 instead. What could be the reason for such lose of pressure? Thanks

    1. Hi Drigaud,
      Thanks for getting in touch with us.
      Tyres can lose pressure because of a puncture or because of valve stem issues.
      We recommend contacting a Toyota centre if you think there is an issue with the tyres as they are best placed to assess your vehicle and make any necessary recommendations.
      Thanks.
