What is the right tire pressure for a Toyota Avalon?

The recommended tire pressure for a Toyota Avalon often falls between 31 and 35 psi for both front and rear tires, depending on the model year and the tire size that came standard with the vehicle.

To find out the required pressure for your Toyota Avalon, you can refer to your owner’s manual or the sticker located on the inside of the driver’s side door frame.

However, if you’re using specialty tires that didn’t come standard with your vehicle, like winter tires or high-performance tires, you’ll need to take those tires’ requirements into account to determine the ideal tire pressure.

Tire pressure recommendations for other Toyota vehicles

Here’s a look at how the Toyota Avalon’s tire pressure requirements can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Again, though, be sure to double-check your own vehicle’s tire pressure requirements since they can vary based on different factors, like tire size and vehicle load.

Vehicle	Front tire pressure	Rear tire pressure
Toyota Camry	30-35 psi	30-35 psi
Toyota 4Runner	32 psi	32 psi
Toyota Tundra	30 psi	33 psi
Toyota Sequoia	30-33 psi	32-35 psi
Toyota Tacoma	29-46 psi	29-46 psi

How to check Toyota Avalon tire pressure

Depending on your Toyota Avalon’s model year, it’s possible to conveniently check the pressure of each of your tires on your dashboard. On models that have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an indicator light should turn on when the system detects your tire pressure is to low.

That said, while you hope it doesn’t happen, there’s always a chance the TPMS could malfunction unexpectedly, so it’s still a good idea to periodically check your tires’ pressure with an actual

tire pressure gauge

If you don’t have one of your own, you can often find them at gas stations with air filling stations.

The way you use them is pretty straightforward. You simply unscrew the valve stem cap on the tire you want to check, then press the gauge to the valve stem to get your reading. From there, you can add or release air from each tire as needed.

How often should you check tire pressure?

Automotive experts commonly recommend you check your vehicle’s tire pressure at least monthly. You should also do so before long trips or when your vehicle’s weight load significantly changes.

How to tell if your Toyota Avalon needs new tires

It’s generally recommended that you replace your vehicle’s tires at least every six years, but how often you’ll actually need to do so will depend on factors like your driving habits and what kinds of environmental and road conditions are typical for you.

The following are all signs that can suggest it might be time to replace your tires:

Cracks or bulges

Visible punctures

Tires won’t hold consistent pressure

Low tread depth (especially when it gets below 4 mm)

Uneven tread wear

Steering and/or handling become more difficult

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

If you’ve filled your tires to the proper level but your TPMS warning light is still on, you might need to

reset your TPMS

In recent model years of the Toyota Avalon, you can find the TPMS reset button near the glove compartment. After turning the vehicle on, just press and hold the button for a few seconds until the TPMS light on your instrument cluster blinks three times, then release it.

After a few minutes, the system should be reset.

If you have a TPMS light that flashes for a minute straight, then remains steady, it means a problem has been detected somewhere in the system and it needs to be serviced.

If you think there may be a problem with your TPMS, you’ll want to have it inspected by a certified mechanic or your local Toyota service center.
