2009 Toyota 4Runner Tires, Repair & Service

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota 4Runner tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota 4Runner tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
