1987 Toyota 4Runner Tires & Services

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota 4Runner tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota 4Runner tires online.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1987 Toyota 4Runner is essential for long-term engine health. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota 4Runner cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, your 1987 Toyota 4Runner is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
