Many drivers overlook one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve vehicle performance, safety, and fuel economy—maintaining proper tire pressure. If you own a 2007 Toyota Camry, keeping the right PSI (pounds per square inch) in your tires is essential for a smooth, efficient ride.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about tire pressure for the 2007 Camry. From the recommended PSI and how to check it, to the risks of overinflation and underinflation, plus bonus tips to save on other car maintenance areas like your battery—this is the complete guide.
Recommended Tire Pressure for 2007 Toyota Camry
The correct tire pressure for a 2007 Toyota Camry is 32 PSI for both the front and rear tires.
This applies to most trim levels and engine types for the 2007 model, including both 4-cylinder and V6 versions. Always refer to your specific model’s placard or owner’s manual to confirm, as tire size variations may slightly alter the recommendation.
Why 32 PSI?
Toyota engineers have calculated that 32 PSI provides the best balance of performance, safety, ride comfort, and fuel economy for this model. Driving with tires inflated to this level ensures even wear, proper grip, and optimum fuel efficiency.
Where to Find the Official Tire Pressure Recommendation
If you’re unsure, you can find the official tire pressure for your 2007 Camry in a few key places:
- Driver’s side door jamb: Look for the white and yellow sticker with tire specs.
- Owner’s manual: Check under the section labeled “Tires” or “Vehicle Specifications.”
- Inside the fuel door: Some Toyota models list PSI info here as well.
How to Check Tire Pressure the Right Way
Follow these steps to check and adjust your tire pressure:
- Wait until the tires are cold. Ideally, check the pressure before driving or after the car has been parked for 3+ hours.
- Remove the valve stem cap from each tire.
- Use a tire pressure gauge (digital or manual) and press it firmly onto the valve.
- Note the reading. It should be around 32 PSI.
- If it’s too low, add air using a home compressor or gas station pump. If it’s too high, press the valve gently to release air.
- Recheck and adjust if needed, then replace the valve caps.
Do this once a month or whenever the seasons change. Cold weather can reduce pressure, while heat can increase it.
What If Tire Pressure Is Too Low or Too High?
Incorrect tire pressure affects more than just your ride quality—it affects your wallet and safety too.
Risks of Underinflated Tires
- Increased rolling resistance, which lowers fuel economy
- Premature and uneven tread wear
- Higher chance of tire blowouts, especially at high speeds
- Poor cornering and braking performance
Risks of Overinflated Tires
- Reduced grip and traction
- Harsher, bumpier ride
- Increased risk of impact damage from potholes
- Uneven tread wear (center of the tire wears faster)
What About the Spare Tire?
Many Camry models include a compact spare tire (also called a “donut”).
These should be inflated to a much higher pressure—typically 60 PSI. Check your spare tire every few months. A flat spare won’t help in an emergency.
Benefits of Keeping Tires Properly Inflated
There are several long-term benefits to maintaining correct PSI in your 2007 Camry tires:
- Better Fuel Efficiency: A properly inflated tire reduces rolling resistance and increases MPG.
- Longer Tire Life: Even pressure means even wear. You won’t need new tires as often.
- Improved Safety: Better grip, handling, and braking performance in all weather.
- Smoother Ride: Less vibration and bounce, especially on highways and rough roads.
When Should You Replace Tires on a 2007 Camry?
Even with perfect tire pressure, tires wear out. On average, tires last 5–6 years or 50,000–60,000 miles, depending on driving style and road conditions.
Use the “penny test” to check tread depth:
- Insert a penny into the tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down.
- If you see all of Lincoln’s head, the tread is too shallow—it’s time to replace the tire.
Bonus Tip: Recondition Your Battery and Save Hundreds
Keeping your tires inflated saves fuel. But what about your battery? Replacing a car battery can cost $100 to $300—and even more for hybrid systems. But you don’t always have to buy a new one.

Real-Life Example: How Proper Tire Pressure Made a Difference
Sarah from Georgia drives a 2007 Toyota Camry with 160,000 miles. She noticed her MPG dropped by nearly 3 miles per gallon and the steering felt heavy. When she checked the tire pressure, all four tires were around 26 PSI.
After inflating them to the recommended 32 PSI, her MPG improved, the ride smoothed out, and tire wear evened out over the next few weeks. A simple 10-minute fix saved her from early tire replacement and poor gas mileage.
Final Thoughts
The proper tire pressure for the 2007 Toyota Camry is 32 PSI in all four tires. This small maintenance step leads to better performance, fuel economy, and safety. Make tire pressure checks a monthly habit—your wallet and tires will thank you.
And while you’re taking care of your tires, don’t forget about your battery. You may be able to restore it instead of replacing it.
