Hopping into that new Toyota is such a great feeling! With amazing mileage, safety features, tech, and of course reliability, what more could you want? Well, you can’t forget about the maintenance of your RAV4. Let’s talk about your Toyota RAV4 tires. Our experts at Toyota of Clermont are making it simple ™. We’re talking tire pressure, tire size, and more!
The Basics: Toyota RAV4 Tire Pressure
Let’s start off with your tire pressure; this is important to check about every two weeks. This will ensure your Toyota RAV4 tires are properly inflated with the right PSI, especially when temperatures change. Now, in newer models, you’ll have a tire pressure light appear on your dash. Here’s what you should know...
Each tire should have a PSI between 30 and 35 based on the model of your Toyota RAV4. You can always check your owner’s manual for an exact number for your model.
Now, each tire PSI will be different—this is standard across all types of cars and tires! Be sure to consult with your Clermont Toyota service tech if you’re not sure.
Checking your Toyota RAV4 Tire Presure
You know the proper PSI for your Toyota RAV4 tires, but you need to know how to check them! Our Clermont Toyota techs recommend the following:
Check the dash—in newer models, your Toyota RAV4 will have a tire pressure readout. You can easily view the PSI of each tire, and it’ll notify you which is low.
With older models, you can use a tire pressure gauge—this is reliable and easy! Just remove the cap from the stem on your tire, put the gauge right on, and a reading will pop up on the gauge. Once you finish, pop the cap back on, and you’re good to go.
Proper Inflation
To properly maintain your Clermont Toyota, you’ll need to make sure your tires are properly inflated. With underinflated tires, you risk losing grip on the road and even lowering the MPGs, which means more stops at the gas station! In addition, you’ll even have to replace your tires even sooner. On the opposite end, if you overinflate your tires, this can result in a blowout while you drive! If you’re still not sure about your Toyota RAV4 tires, you can always consult a Toyota of Clermont service tech.
