The front axle of a Toyota Aygo steers and, on front-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar. Size estimates on this page include 245/40R18, 215/50R17 and 215/55R16 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

If the Toyota sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/40R18 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Aygo sample opens with 245/40R18, then 215/50R17 and 215/55R16.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 245/40R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Wide touring 18-inch |
| 215/50R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Plus-size 17-inch |
| 215/55R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 225/40R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Low-profile 18-inch |
| 185/65R15 | 33 | — | 2.28 | — | 228 | — | Small / older car |
| 225/50R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Touring 17-inch |
| 225/45R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Sport 17-inch |
| 205/60R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Taller 16-inch |
Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 35 psi / 2.41 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 37 psi / 2.55 bar |
Steering feel on the Aygo lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 215/55R16; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Aygo
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Aygo numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.
PSI, bar and kPa

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Aygo.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Toyota notes
Toyota trucks print front and rear separately more often than cars. A roof box on a RAV4 is a load condition, not a forum “add 5 psi” rule.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Toyota Aygo usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Toyota sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Aygo
Front versus rear on the Toyota Aygo?
This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Aygo?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
When does TPMS warn on a Toyota Aygo?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Toyota Aygo?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Aygo placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 215/55R16?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 245/40R18, 215/50R17 and 215/55R16 as a planning band.
