Choosing 2016 Toyota 4Runner Tires

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. 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. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one 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 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.

It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time.

You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2016 Toyota 4Runner

During the first few years you had your 2016 Toyota 4Runner, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 4Runner jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump.

  • What can cause the front end of my 4Runner to dip forward when I apply 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 treadwear and tire pressure impact my 4Runner's steering and 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.

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.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota 4Runner?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota 4Runner, potentially causing transmission problems.

Questions About Toyota 4Runner Radiators

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What is causing my 4Runner to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Toyota 4Runner engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • My 4Runner radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?  Air pockets in your 4Runner’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.
