Choosing 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Land Cruiser tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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!) 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 Land Cruiser tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • How hard is it to change Toyota Land Cruiser oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think.

2006 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Land Cruiser to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Land Cruiser 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 Land Cruiser to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Land Cruiser'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 Land Cruiser's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Toyota Land Cruiser?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Land Cruiser, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
