FAQ
How Often Should I Have My Tires Rotated?
You should have your tires rotated according to the schedule in your Toyota owner's manual, but it should generally be done every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
How Do I Know If My Wheels Need To Be Balanced?
When your wheels are out of balance, you will usually feel vibrations through the car's steering wheel, seat, or floor, depending on whether it's the front or rear wheels. You may also notice worse fuel economy and quicker tread wear. Your wheels should always be balanced during a tire rotation, when you buy new tires, or have a tire repaired.
When Should I Get My Wheels Aligned?
Misaligned wheels tend to drag along the road, causing your tires to wear out faster. A common sign that you need to have your wheels aligned is if your car pulls or wanders to one side or the other. You might also find that the steering wheel is off-center when you drive straight, your tires squeal on turns, and that you're using more gas. Even if you don't experience these symptoms, you're advised to have your wheel alignment checked annually.
How Can I Find My Recommended Tire Pressure?
You can find the correct pressure for your car's tires in your Toyota owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb. It's advisable to check your tire pressure while the tires are cold, and you should always use the recommended pressure.
