How to verify the correct tire size for your car

- Check the tire sidewall of the current tires for the size imprint (e.g., 165/70R14).
- Inspect the vehicle's door jamb placard, usually located on the driver's side, which lists the recommended tire size and inflation pressure.
- Refer to the owner's manual or the chassis VIN documentation for original equipment specifications.
- 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.
