The owner's manual lists these sizes but prints no pressures for them — use the placard on the door jamb.
What the owner's manuals don't say
- The 2012 and 2013 manuals (OM48A09U, OM48A38U) could not be read: the maker's host refuses requests from outside North America and the text proxy returned no content
Figures marked "Owner's manual" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the manual prints. Nothing here has been checked against your vehicle: if it disagrees with the placard on the door jamb, the placard wins.

Tire pressure questions
What should the tire pressure be on a Toyota Highlander?
It depends on the tire size. For the sizes Toyota lists, the cold pressure is 36 psi at the front and 36 psi at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tires cold.
What size tires does a Toyota Highlander take?
Toyota fitted the Highlander with 235/65 R18, 245/60 R18, 245/55 R19 and 235/55 R20, depending on the model year and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tire; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tire pressure placard on a Toyota Highlander?
On the driver's door jamb — the Tire and Loading Information placard. It gives the same cold pressures as the owner's manual, which is where the figures on this page come from; if the two ever disagree, go by the placard on your vehicle.
