2015 Toyota 4Runner Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying 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 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 an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. 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.

  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? 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 4Runner tires. Grab a penny.

Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your 4Runner has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 4Runner? If your 4Runner has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic.

When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to.

After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota 4Runner Alignment

  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your 4Runner? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your 4Runner owner’s manual for Toyota's recommended interval.
  • Do you need to get your 4Runner wheels aligned? While you don’t necessarily need to get an alignment when putting new tires on your 4Runner, it’s still a good idea. Ensuring your wheels are properly aligned can help support optimal handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency.

Engine Q&A 2015 Toyota 4Runner

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 4Runner? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your 4Runner 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 engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota 4Runner. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Toyota engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Tire Repair

If a repair on your 2015 Toyota 4Runner tire is feasible and safe, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Toyota 4Runner 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 4Runner 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 my 4Runner tires keep losing air?  If your 4Runner tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Questions About 2015 Toyota 4Runner Maintenance

Answers to Your Toyota 4Runner Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota 4Runner battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • 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 4Runner’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 4Runner’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 4Runner, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Oil Changes

Toyota recommends having your 2015 Toyota 4Runner’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your 4Runner may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota 4Runner. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota 4Runner 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. In an oil change service, a technician will change your 4Runner's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your 4Runner today.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Toyota 4Runner oil light comes on?  The oil change light in your Toyota 4Runner could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota 4Runner oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota 4Runner spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2015 Toyota 4Runner

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your 4Runner’s engine. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2015 Toyota 4Runner. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your 4Runner. 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 4Runner. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your 4Runner: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Questions About 2015 Toyota 4Runner Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Toyota 4Runner to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my 4Runner? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota 4Runner need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2015 Toyota 4Runner

When you first bought your 2015 Toyota 4Runner, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 4Runner feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 Toyota 4Runner in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 4Runner suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota 4Runner to have a bouncy ride? 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 4Runner's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 4Runner's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

A/C Service for Your 2015 Toyota 4Runner

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2015 Toyota 4Runner A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2015 Toyota 4Runner’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2015 Toyota 4Runner A/C system. We will also perform 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 use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2015 Toyota 4Runner A/C Systems

  • What’s making my 4Runner A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your 4Runner’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my 4Runner’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 4Runner may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2015 Toyota 4Runner transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Toyota 4Runner transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your 4Runner isn’t working at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2015 4Runner services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. 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.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my 4Runner's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Toyota 4Runner’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Toyota 4Runner?  Yes. Toyota 4Runner transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota 4Runner if it has a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your 4Runner 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.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. To start, one of our technicians will check the battery in your Toyota 4Runner to determine how much charge remains.

FAQs for 2015 Toyota 4Runner Vehicle Inspections

  • How do I know if I should have an inspection on my Toyota 4Runner? You drive your car, day in and day out, so you know it best. If you notice unusual engine noises or you can’t shake the feeling that something is 'off,' start with a Courtesy Check to stay ahead of potential issues.
  • My 2015 Toyota 4Runner failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? There's a good chance we can. Stop by for a full system inspection and we'll get to the root of the issue.
  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Toyota 4Runner?  You should bring your Toyota 4Runner in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem.

A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

Radiator Service & Repair for 2015 Toyota 4Runner

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2015 Toyota 4Runner is essential for long-term engine health. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota 4Runner’s cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, your 2015 Toyota 4Runner is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
