Recommended MAX press. on the ones I have here says 50 p.s.i., however the pressure Toyota recommends is located on the metal plate next to the drivers' side door latch. There's a site with a calc. somewhere, hold-on....

I've always run my 32's at 35psi... They still ride a little in the middle of the tire but not bad. Any less hurts gas mileage and any more they wear out the middle first...

The plate/sticker on the door jamb and what manual says are for STOCK TIRES!!! Really how many times do I need to say this!!!! STOCK TIRES ONLY!!!!

Here is what you do, take the max pressure and fill to about 5-8psi less, take a piece of chalk and draw a line across the tires and drive in a straight line for a bit. Get out and check for even wear of the chalk line, if its worn off 100% tire inflation is right, insides worn inflated to much and outsides worn inflated to little. Then remember that number!
