Full specifications by generation

The tire sizes on a Toyota Highlander is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Toyota Highlander tire sizes: common questions

What size tires does a Toyota Highlander take?

It varies by trim and wheel size, 2 factory fitments exist, from 235/65R18 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

What is the bolt pattern on a Toyota Highlander?

5x114.3. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

What should the tire pressure be on a Toyota Highlander?

36 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

What is the lug nut torque for a Toyota Highlander?

76 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

Does the Toyota Highlander come with a spare tire?

Compact temporary spare under the cargo floor (including hybrid).
