Tyre pressure Toyo Proxies

I just got some a set of these & wondered what the tyre pressure should be on my Chimaera?

Add 2psi all round to make up for the softer sidewalls, 24/26. Take it easy on them for a while, they can be scary slippy whilst they're bedding in.

Those are Bridgestone pressures. Toyos are softer wall construction; this can be compensated for by increasing the pressures.

Me too. I've tried increasing the pressures, but have found that 22 24 are just about right IMO.
I echo what tvrbob says - mine felt uneasy for a few hundred miles, though it was pretty cold weather when I got my rears replaced this year. Just go for a few spirited drives to get some heat into them.

I thought that those were book pressures ie for the softer tyre wall of the Bridgestone SO2PP and the Toyo. It's SO3s that people try to compensate for by reducung the tyre pressure.

Be careful and check them when the garage puts them on, My garage put them on at 34 (and I did not think to check and the rears should be 24). Their official charts show 34! I found out the hard way!
