    Hi there!

    Just had 18 inch wheels placed on my 2011 Prius, with 225/40R18 tires (see picture, sorry the car needs to be washed!)

    I'm unable to find specific information on good tire pressure for this tire dimension on Prius.

    May anybody help?

    Thanks! IMG_20200429_181822.jpeg

    What brand of tires did you put on it ?
    Find out the total vehicle weight and contact the tire maker.
    You won't be too far off using what is on the OEM sticker.

    Toyo says 33/32 (front/rear) for the 215/45R17, so I d'know: 32 all 'round, for starters?
