What is the right tire pressure for a Toyota Rav4?

The recommended tire pressure for the Toyota Rav4 is 32 psi for the front and rear tires. You can always double-check this number by looking in your owner’s manual or finding the sticker on the inside of the door frame on the driver’s side that lists critical vehicle information.

Keep in mind, this is for standard Toyota Rav4 tires. If you modify your vehicle in any way so that you use larger or even high-performance tires, you may have to fill them to a different tire pressure. In this case, you’ll want to check with the tire manufacturer before you fill up your tires.

How to check Toyota Rav4 tire pressure

Has it been a while since you checked your tire pressure and you’re not sure where to start? Depending on the model year of your Rav4, you might be able to check your tire pressure with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and it will alert you if your tires are underinflated.

However, you can also check your tire pressure manually. Just remove the valve stem cap on one of your tires, then push

a tire pressure gauge

onto the valve. Wait several seconds, then read your results. This should let you know the current psi of the tire so you know if you need to add air or not. Just repeat the process on your remaining tires.

You might also notice several signs from your vehicle if your tires are underinflated. If you’re having steering issues, or your gas mileage has decreased, your tires might be the culprit!

How often should you check tire pressure?

You’ll want to check your tire pressure once a month. It’s also a good idea to check your tire pressure before going on a long trip. Additionally, you’ll need to check it more often during the winter months as cold temperatures can cause your tires to lose air.

How to tell if your Toyota Rav4 needs new tires

On average, your Toyota Rav4 will need new tires every six years. However, this number can vary based on your driving habits. You’ll want to check your tires regularly for signs of wear and tire, like low tread depth or any cracks or bulges.

If you don’t know how deep your tire treads should be, grab a US penny and stick it in the tire tread with Lincoln’s head pointing downward. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread is too shallow.

How to reset the Toyota Rav4 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light

In most cases, if your tire pressure warning light comes on in your Toyota Rav4, filling your tires back to the correct tire pressure will get the light to turn off. However, if you’ve refilled your tires and the light is still on, you may need to

reset your TPMS

The first thing you can try is driving your Rav4 at 50 mph for at least ten minutes. Then when you turn your car off and turn it back on again, the tire pressure dashboard light should turn off.

If this doesn’t work, put your key in the ignition and turn it to the “On” position, but don’t start the vehicle. Hold the TPMS reset button (usually located under the steering wheel) until the tire pressure light blinks three times. Release the button and start the vehicle. Wait about twenty minutes for the sensors to refresh.

If your dashboard light is still on, your last option is to inflate all your tires to 3 psi over their recommended amount. Then deflate all of them completely. Once the tires are completely deflated, inflate them to the recommended tire pressure.

If none of these methods solve the issue, you might want to take your Rav4 to a mechanic or a Toyota dealership so they can diagnose the problem and get it resolved.
