Default What tire pressure for 19's

Sorry for the dumb question but what tire pressure should I set my tires to if im running 235/35/19 on a SC300? Should I still be at the 32PSI thats stated on the inside of my glove box?

not a dumb question.....

No, use the pressure ratings on the sidewall of the new tires.

If you live in cold weather then just inflate your tires to around 40psi's. If you live in hot weather inflate to 38psi's. Air expands in heat, good luck!!

Umm ... the rating on the side of the tires is the maximum amount of pressure the tire can withstand. This isn't the recommended tire pressure to use daily.

When I called Toyo about my tire pressure they told me to run 36 in the front and 34 in the rear.
I am running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19

WOW...it sounds kinda low to me, but i guess i would listen to Toyo tho..
But I am running 45 front and 43 rear, and i have the exact same tire size as you do.

that sounds a bit on the low size, but i think if you have very good road that's no problem

personally i would keep those at around 40psi cold myself. you might compromise the ride a little bit, but i wouldn't want to bend my wheels left and right

I have the same size and brand tires. I run about 40 PSI all the way around.
