About 2014 Toyota Highlander Tires
Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Highlander tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase 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!
Next, consider your driving style. 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 Highlander tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2014 Toyota Highlander Tire Questions
-
Why does Toyota tire inflation matter? Even a tiny decrease in tire pressure could impact your safety and fuel economy. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan.
-
Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota Highlander tires? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Toyota tire numbers.
-
Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? 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 Highlander tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Highlander tires.

After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.
Answers to Toyota Highlander Alignment Questions
-

Engine Q&A 2014 Toyota Highlander

-
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.
-
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.

Your Questions About Toyota Highlander Tire Repair, Answered
-
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.

If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
-
