2007 Toyota Highlander Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Highlander tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. 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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Highlander tires online.

Your Highlander could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.
  • What is the average lifespan of Highlander brake pads? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Because your Highlander brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.

2007 Toyota Highlander Alignment Services

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Toyota Highlander's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2007 Toyota Highlander, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota Highlander Alignment

  • What can knock my Toyota Highlander out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Highlander? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Highlander owner’s manual for Toyota's recommended interval.
  • Do you need an alignment with new Highlander tires?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Highlander, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

2007 Toyota Highlander Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my Highlander turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Highlander firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Toyota Highlander making engine noise?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Highlander engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Highlander engine?  Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Toyota Highlander Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Highlander engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • What is causing the tires on my Highlander to keep losing air? Your Highlander tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

About 2007 Toyota Highlander Scheduled Maintenance

It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Highlander maintenance. Just follow your 2007 Toyota Highlander maintenance schedule!

Questions About 2007 Toyota Highlander Maintenance

  • When should I have Toyota Highlander alignment checked? Watch out for pothole damage. If your 2007 Highlander is pulling to one side or the other, your tires or suspension system could be calling out for help.
  • When does my Toyota Highlander need high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Highlander engines.
  • Why are my Toyota dashboard lights on?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota Highlander, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Toyota Highlander Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Highlander 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?  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 Highlander’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Highlander car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2007 Toyota Highlander Oil Changes

Your 2007 Highlander’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Your Highlander may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Highlander. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can choose from the following oils: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Highlander’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Highlander today.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2007 Toyota Highlander

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Highlander?  Your Toyota Highlander 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 oil on my own?  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.

Questions About 2007 Toyota Highlander Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Highlander bouncing so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Highlander goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Highlander to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Highlander combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
