How To: Extend the Life of Your Toyota Vehicle’s Tires

Monitor Your Toyota Vehicle’s Tire Pressure

One quick and easy way to extend the life of your tires is by monitoring their tire pressure. Many newer Toyota models can do this electronically, and even some older models have a Tire Pressure Management System. However, we still suggest that customers check their Toyota vehicle’s tire pressure every month, just to be safe! Tires that are properly inflated will experience much less wear and tear than those that are not.

Rotate Your Toyota Vehicle’s Tires

We also recommend that customers have their vehicle’s tires rotated every 5,000 miles or so. This will allow your tires to wear evenly across the tire. Each tire location on your vehicle wears differently and failing to rotate them will cause your tires to wear unevenly, which can cause more damage to the tire and also contribute to a bumpy and, in some instances, unsafe ride

Balance Your Toyota Vehicle’s Wheels

While you are in for a tire rotation, this would be an excellent time to consider a wheel balance as well. all tires and wheels feature heavy spots in them where weight is not evenly distributed and causes excess wear and tear. Having your wheels balanced allows for this heavy spot to be relocated and reduce tire wear in one area of the tire. This is a simple task that many service technicians can complete quite quickly.

Check Your Toyota Vehicle’s Alignment

Finally, make sure that your vehicle is properly aligned. You can get a wheel alignment check at any Toyota dealership, including here at Baierl Toyota. Many dealerships often run specials on these alignment checks where the service is complimentary with a coupon or discount code. Properly aligned vehicles will have their tires wear more evenly than those vehicles that are misaligned.
