Tire pressures and TPMS set - Toyota Yaris Forums

justanotherdrunk · 02-01-2016, 01:57 PM

I was sure that the dealer blew off the mismatched front/ rear tire pressures on the SE ...

... because I've bought new cars before where the pressures were WWAAYY off !!!

I was wrong.

They were within 1/2 psi at all 4 corners

With a nice, new digital gauge (<$10 at Kragens) - not a crappy, 45 year old, grease monkey plunger type

I set 'em all 1 psi high and successfully reset the TPMS with the button under the dash.

Not to be a jerk

my experience has been the huge majority of drivers don't understand that the correct pressures are obtained from the door sill sticker -- not from the tire.

I wonder if that only applies to stock wheels/tires?

On my 2007 the label is on the front drivers door frame.

It applies to the tire sizes listed on the sticker. Some cars come with optional sized tires and will list them accordingly.

They are a balance of comfort and safety.

I just do 33 PSI (cold pressure) front/back.

And on the new yaris the sticker is in the glove compartment almost impossible to read without getting a neck injury.

Tip
Take a photo with the phone of the sticker, it makes things much easier.
