Choosing 1992 Toyota Celica Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Celica 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 set for winter, one set for summer. 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 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. Browse Toyota Celica tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • What can cause the front end of my Celica to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Celica when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Celica'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.

  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Celica’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why won’t my Celica’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Celica’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Toyota Celica leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Celica 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.
  • Is it okay to drive a Celica with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
