Toyota Highlander Tire Pressure

Your handbook for Toyota Highlander Tire Pressure

Whether you just bought one or have been driving one for a while, the Orlando Toyota Highlander is a great way to get you and your crew around town safely, efficiently, and comfortably. Highlanders are also reliable, which means you can count on them when it matters most. However, to keep that reliability factor high you have to take the time to handle routine car maintenance, and today we’re talking about one of the most important parts of it – Toyota Highlander tire pressure.

What is the recommended Toyota Highlander tire pressure?

To make your life easier, Toyota has included built-in tech to let you know when your Toyota Highlander tire pressure is low. You can count on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to send you alerts in your dash when one or more tires have low pressure so you know to fill it up right away. This tech can also tell you the proper PSI to inflate the tire. But what if you don’t have the TPMS in your Orlando Toyota? Here’s what you should know.

• You can easily check your Toyota Highlander tire pressure with an old-fashioned tire pressure gauge. If your tire looks or feels low, remove the cap from the valve stem on your tire, and use the pressure gauge to get a reading. (Remember to put the cap back on.)
• You can’t just add any amount of air. Your Orlando Toyota has a specific recommended tire pressure or PSI level. You can find it in your owner’s manual, but we’re all about making it simple ™ so we’re also giving it to you here:
• The recommended tire pressure for a Toyota Highlander’s front tires is 36 PSI.
• The recommended tire pressure for a Toyota Highlander’s rear tires is 36 PSI.

Pretty simple to remember, right? As noted, if you ever forget the correct PSI you can check your owner’s manual, the Toyota app, or even in your car – some vehicles have the PSI listed on a sticker inside the driver’s side door. We recommend manually checking your tire pressure once a month if you don’t have the TPMS to give you alerts.

What else should you know about Toyota Highlander tires?

To best take care of your tires, you need to know everything about them – not just Toyota Highlander tire pressure. Here are some other facts to keep in mind when taking care of your routine car care.

• Toyota Highlander tires are typically all-season tires – that’s what comes on the new 2024 model. You’ll also get a spare tire (which is equally important to care for).
• Toyota Highlander tire size varies on the model and year, so be sure to always refer to your owner’s manual or ask one of our Toyota of Orlando service techs what you should be putting on your car. As far as the 2024 models, here are the sizes you’ll typically need:
• 245/65R17 tires
• 235/65R18 tires
• 245/60R18 tires
• 245/55R19 tires
• 235/55R20 tires
• The cost of new Toyota Highlander tires varies a lot depending on what you want. They can range anywhere from $110 a tire to upwards of $250 a tire. If you’re not sure what you need, be sure to ask one of our techs at Toyota of Orlando what suits your SUV best.
• New Toyota Highlander tires should give you a long life – they’re supposed to last anywhere from 40,000 miles to 85,000 miles. However, if you want that type of lifespan out of them, you need to take care of them.

And ensuring the right tire pressure isn’t the only piece of tire care, though. Here’s a list of other elements of tire care to keep in mind when caring for your tires.

How to care for your tires: Toyota of Orlando tips

Extend the life of your car’s tires no matter which model you’re driving with the following tips:

• Get tire rotations. You should schedule them every 5,000 – 6,000 miles. Tire rotations ensure that your tires wear evenly and last longer.
• Do visual inspections. You should definitely keep an eye on your PSI, but you also want to look for issues like low tread, bulges, blisters, sidewall separation, and any other damage.
• Check the tread routinely to make sure it’s not low or wearing unevenly.
• Have them professionally checked after an accident or collision to ensure you don’t need an alignment or repairs.
• Replace them when you’re due. Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous and can lead to a loss of traction, which can lead to an accident.
