Never though I would ask or inquire about something so simple as a tire (tyre for some of us), but here I am.
So, I am at about mile 9k (about month 5) and decided to check the tire pressure and what I got was 48-49 lbs each for all 4 tires
. Double and triple checking, I have 3 tire pressure gauge, so we can rule out one of the gauges went bad.
Checking door jamb and user manual, I am supposed to be at 33# psi (I have the 19 inch limited wheels).
So, this is what I am supposed to do?:
1) Lower pressure down to 33#.
2) In the car's TPWS (Tire Pressure Warning System), re-set/re-calibrate it to the set pressure (warning light will blinks 3 times), which 33# will be the new registered tire psi level.
Seems odd the factory would set both the tire pressure and TPWS at around 50#'s. I guess it was better it's over than under. I am new to Toyota's as my old car's had no calibration, just a light when air was low.
Just wanted to make sure and some of you may want to check your tire/tyre pressure as well...
