Dealer Tire Pressure 2014 Base tC
Got my new tC a few weeks back and now have 1000 miles. Just decided to check my tire pressure today and have 45 psi in all 4 tires. I know door sticker is recommending 30-33 psi depending on if front or back. I like to run mine on the high side for better mpg but why would they be that high? My gauge could be a little off but even if really 40 psi that is way too high, right?

You probably had a lazy ___ do your pre delivery inspection. They come from the factory at 45-50 psi to prevent flat spots on tires if the vehicle sits too long. I work for a toyota supplier that mount the tire on the rim and balance it then send it to toyota. So I know lol. They are supposed to drop it during the pre delivery inspection. I'd just drop them to 35 if you want. Any higher on that low profile tire will put a lot of stress on your suspension.

The recommended pressures on the door jam is what the engineers calculated out for recommended cold tire pressure.
I did check the tire on my Yokohamas and it says not to exceed 40 PSI although I think the max on those is 50 psi IIRC. Most of them time when I had my tires rotated and balanced I think my dealership did 32 psi for all tires.
I kind of wish there was a formula to help calculate tire pressure.
