    Toyota Corolla: Tyre pressure

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Corolla Toyota Corolla Advice Toyota Corolla 2013
    The stated tyre pressure for my Toyota Corolla is 32 psi, but when I go to my local tyre people for puncture repairs, or new tyres they set the pressure at 36 psi. Which is correct, or more beneficial for the tyres or the car? Or is this a trade lurk to increase the wear on the tyres, so as to create more business for them?

    It's generally held that a small increase in the tyre pressure over the stated pressure will give you better wear and better fuel consumption, and that's why the tyre people are doing what they're doing. The stated tyre pressure is a compromise the carmaker makes to get the best blend of wear, consumption and ride comfort. By increasing the pressure you can get better wear and economy, but you can also a firmer ride, which you might find uncomfortable. If in doubt use the carmaker's recommended pressure.
