Toyota Land Cruiser Tire Pressure
The recommended cold tire pressure for the Toyota Land Cruiser is 33 PSI for all four tires across every trim and model year covered on this page. Tire size and trim may shift the recommended value by 1–2 PSI; verify against the driver-side door jamb sticker for your specific configuration (245/70R18, 265/70R18, 265/60R20).
Recommended Tire Pressure (Cold)
Always check on cold tires (parked 3+ hours). Verify on driver-side door jamb sticker.
All data is for informational purposes only. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct tire pressure.

How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Toyota Land Cruiser
Check cold (parked 3+ hours) with a gauge. The 250-series Land Cruiser (2024+) is sold in the US only as the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, and every trim takes the same 33 PSI front and rear. The spare tire carries its own TPMS sensor on this generation — include it in your checks.
How to Reset the TPMS Light on a Toyota Land Cruiser
The 2024+ Land Cruiser has no physical reset button. After inflating all tires to the door-jamb spec, park with the hybrid system ON and use the meter display: Vehicle Settings > TPWS Setting > Tire Pressure Setting > 'Setting by Current Pressure' > Yes — the warning light blinks slowly 3 times and a completion message appears. The manual also lists 'Setting by Specified Pressure', but owners and dealers confirm the value cannot actually be entered — physically inflate to your target first, then register with Current Pressure. After a rotation or sensor swap, sensor IDs must be registered with a dealer-level (Techstream) tool, then the same initialization is run.
If the light returns after a reset, re-check cold PSI on all four tires plus the spare, then inspect for a slow leak. Persistent warnings usually mean a faulty TPMS sensor (typical replacement cost: $50–$100 per wheel at an independent shop).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended tire pressure for a Toyota Land Cruiser?
The recommended cold tire pressure for the Toyota Land Cruiser is 33 PSI for all four tires. Always verify against the driver-side door jamb sticker for your specific trim and tire size (245/70R18, 265/70R18, 265/60R20).
How do I reset the TPMS light on a Toyota Land Cruiser?
The 2024+ Land Cruiser has no physical reset button.

After a rotation or sensor swap, sensor IDs must be registered with a dealer-level (Techstream) tool, then the same initialization is run.
Does the Toyota Land Cruiser have a separate tire pressure for a performance or hybrid trim?
No — the recommended cold PSI is the same across every Toyota Land Cruiser configuration on the standard tire size (245/70R18, 265/70R18, 265/60R20). Performance trims, when equipped with wider tires, may list a different PSI in the tire-size table above.
Why does my Toyota Land Cruiser tire pressure read higher than 33 PSI after driving?
Driving heats the tires and raises the PSI reading by 2–4 PSI. The 33 PSI recommendation is a cold pressure measured before driving or after at least 3 hours parked. Never deflate to 33 PSI after driving — you'll end up under-inflated once the tires cool.
What happens if my Toyota Land Cruiser tire pressure is too low?
Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, reducing fuel efficiency by up to 3%. They wear faster on the outer edges, generate excess heat that can cause blowouts at highway speeds, and reduce braking and handling performance. If your TPMS warning light is on, check your tire pressure as soon as possible.
