About 1999 Toyota Avalon Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Avalon 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 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 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Avalon.

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny.

If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Avalon tires. Grab a penny.

However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

  • Are Toyota Avalon engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Avalon. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil.

Answers to Your Toyota Avalon Car Battery Questions

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.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Avalon’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Avalon car battery terminals is called corrosion. 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. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

1999 Toyota Avalon Oil Changes

Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Avalon may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

1999 Toyota Avalon Oil Change Questions

  • Why is my Toyota Avalon oil light illuminated?  Your Toyota Avalon oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota Avalon oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota exhaust smoke gray or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

  • How often should I clean my Toyota Avalon fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type.

  • What can cause the front end of my Avalon to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Avalon'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 Avalon'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.
