When Should Tires Be Replaced?
For the Toyota GR86, tire replacement timing depends on both age and mileage considerations. The factory-equipped tires are typically warrantied for only 20,000 miles. Many GR86 owners report significant tire wear even before reaching 15,000 miles, with some seeing wear down to 3/32 tread depth at around 14,850 miles.
Regarding age, we recommend not using tires beyond 3 years, even if the tread hasn’t worn down to legal limits. This is because the tire compounds begin to degrade once mounted on the vehicle and subjected to regular use, UV exposure, and temperature cycles. The degradation affects grip performance, with tires typically performing noticeably worse once wear exceeds 30%.
For optimal performance and safety, GR86 owners should maintain their tires between 70-80% of new tire grip levels, rather than waiting until they reach minimum legal tread depth. Regular tire pressure maintenance at 35 PSI front and rear helps ensure optimal wear patterns and performance.

Toyota GR86 Tire FAQ

How long do GR86 and 86 tires last?
Every tire has a UTQG rating that provides information regarding number of miles the tire is expected to last. However, this number is an estimate. How you drive your vehicle has a big impact on the life expectancy of a tire.
What is the best tire pressure?
There isn't a magic number as every vehicle and every tire requires a different tire pressure. The best way to know what tire pressure to use is to check the driver's side door for a label that shows you the recommended tire pressure for that specific vehicle. Take note that this recommendation changes depending on the load of passengers, as well as cargo load. The tire pressure on the tire itself is not a suggested, rather the maximum PSI a tire can take.
How often should you rotate your tires?
For optimal performance and longevity of your GR86's tires, Lionhart recommends rotation every 5,000-7,000 miles. Due to the GR86's rear-wheel drive configuration and sporty driving characteristics, regular rotations are essential to maintain even wear patterns and maximize tire life.
