Your vehicle has a label that shows the correct tire size and inflation pressure for your spare tire. But if you got your wheels and tires from us or a Toyota dealer before you bought your car, the label might be wrong.
Risk if Unfixed
If you inflate your spare tire to the wrong pressure listed on the label, it could blow out while you're driving on it, which could cause a crash.
Free Fix
We'll send you a sticker or your dealer will apply one to your tire placard to correct the information. This will be done at no cost to you.
