2010 Toyota 4Runner Service, Tires & Repairs

Apart from finding the right 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. 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 for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

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 4Runner tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
