I've used these (steel belted) on two cars that are worlds apart from
each other:
Neon and Viper.
On the FWD Neon, I run 38-39 lbs cold up front and 35 cold in the rear.
On the Viper, I have run the fronts at 35-36 lbs cold and the rears way
down at 30-31 lbs. The rears I keep so low because the Viper tends to
feel very slippery with all the available power at higher pressures.
The Viper is about a 3500 lb car.
I would think your Toyota would want the fronts closer to what I run in
the Neon and the rears in the mid 30's.
