The reason for the difference in pressure is to create understeer. Only in part. Higher-powered models typically specify higher pressures at the rear to cope with the higher loads and help extend tire life.
Does wheel size affect tire pressure?
A larger tire needs more air volume, but it doesn’t need higher pressure. Weight of the vehicle and handling are what determines air pressure, not tire size. And that tells them the weight of the vehicle. Tire pressure, regardless of what size tire you put on the car, is based on vehicle weight.
How much does it cost to fill aftermarket tires?
According to this website, you will maximize fuel economy and tire life by airing up the tire to about 90% of the maximum tire pressure, as determined on the wall of the tire. For example, if the maximum tire pressure is 44 psi, like it is for my car, you can safely fill it up to about 40 psi.
Should front and rear TYRE pressure be the same?
Tyre pressures are normally higher in the front than the rear, to compensate for the extra weight of the engine and transmission, especially on front-wheel-drive cars. If you have a full complement of passengers and luggage, car makers often recommend pumping up the rear tyres to compensate.
Should rear tires have more psi?
Often, the vehicle manufacturers specify more air pressure in the back for this very reason. (Sometimes, not often, they specify a couple of pounds lower in the rear, but rarely more than 2 psi.) This would insure better tire life, (and better gas mileage) while keeping the vehicle handling the way Toyota designed it.
