How to verify the correct tire size for your car


To confirm the exact size for your specific Echo, use these steps:



  1. Check the tire sidewall of the current tires for the size imprint (e.g., 165/70R14).

  2. Inspect the vehicle's door jamb placard, usually located on the driver's side, which lists the recommended tire size and inflation pressure.

  3. Refer to the owner's manual or the chassis VIN documentation for original equipment specifications.

  4. If tires have been replaced, verify that the replacement size conforms to Toyota's recommended range for your model year and wheel size; consult a dealer or tire professional if in doubt.


When in doubt, a quick call to a Toyota dealer with your VIN will confirm the exact OE (original equipment) tire size for your car.
