Choosing 2019 Toyota Tacoma Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Tacoma tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Browse Toyota Tacoma tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Tacoma Tires

  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota Tacoma tires? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Toyota tire numbers.
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tacoma tires. Grab a penny.

In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle.

Engine Q&A 2019 Toyota Tacoma

  • Why does my Tacoma’s check engine light come on when I start it? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Tacoma testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Tacoma engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Toyota Tacoma engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Tire Repair

If your 2019 Toyota Tacoma is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. In some cases, a tire doesn’t have to be replaced – it can be plugged and patched with a simple repair. Depending on the damage, though, a repair might not be the right move. Our technicians can determine which option is best for your situation. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.

If we determine that your 2019 Toyota Tacoma tire can be safely repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Frequently Asked Toyota Tacoma Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your Tacoma until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do the tires on my Tacoma keep losing air? Tire punctures, damaged wheels, and leaking valve stems are possible reasons for your Tacoma tires continuously losing air.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Tacoma Maintenance

  • When should I have Toyota Tacoma alignment checked?  You know your Toyota Tacoma better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Toyota Tacoma to high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Tacoma engines.
  • Why are my Toyota dashboard lights on?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota Tacoma, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Answers to Your Toyota Tacoma Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Tacoma battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • How long do car batteries last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Tacoma’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Tacoma’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Tacoma, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 2019 Toyota Tacoma’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Tacoma may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2019 Toyota Tacoma motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Tacoma oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During an oil change, a technician will change your Tacoma's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Tacoma today.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Q&A

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Tacoma to illuminate?  Your Toyota Tacoma oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Tacoma spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Tacoma’s engine. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Tacoma engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Tacoma's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Tacoma. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Tacoma: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Toyota Tacoma spark plugs fail? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Tacoma? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Tacoma need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Tacoma fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

2019 Tacoma Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2019 Toyota Tacoma, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Tacoma bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2019 Toyota Tacoma, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2019 Tacoma Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Tacoma bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Tacoma tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Tacoma when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

2019 Toyota Tacoma A/C Service Near You

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2019 Toyota Tacoma A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2019 Toyota Tacoma A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 2019 Toyota Tacoma’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2019 Toyota Tacoma A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my Tacoma A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Tacoma's A/C system.
  • Why does my Tacoma’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Tacoma is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. 2019 Toyota Tacoma transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota Tacoma transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Tacoma at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2019 Tacoma up to Toyota-recommended standards. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

2019 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Tacoma's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Tacoma transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Toyota Tacoma transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Toyota Tacoma can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Tacoma ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Is it okay to drive a Tacoma with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Tacoma with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

Questions About Toyota Tacoma Radiators

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Tacoma to overheat?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Toyota Tacoma engine to overheat.
  • What can cause a Tacoma radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?  Air pockets in your Tacoma’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
