I bought my Celica a while ago with stock (I think) Toyo tires on 15s. What should my PSI be? I think I might have been a little too eager and pumped it all the way to 38~40 PSI for the front.

i dunno if this helps but from another forum:

this was given to me by CamryMan.org user "cdssolara" and it is the best formula for tire pressure that I have read.

Take your vehicle weight plus driver and divide by 100, this is your base.

Add 2psi to that if you have a OE suspension.

Add 2 more psi on the heavy end of your car (front for our cars)

So you say that you car weighs 3400lbs that means 34lbs is the base, so for a Camry with stock springs 38 front 36 rear, with a performance springs it is 36 front and 34 rear ...

Play with it from there to suit your taste. more pressure for performance driving and less for driving grandma to the store.


btw.. anyone know how accurate those tire pressure checkers are? you know.. those stick ones you can get at a dollar store or something where this thing pops out to show you the psi
