About 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Land Cruiser 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 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!

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. 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 Land Cruiser.

  • Why does my Land Cruiser's nose dive down when I hit 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.

  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Land Cruiser’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 does my Land Cruiser’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Land Cruiser is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid leak?  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.
  • Is it okay to drive a Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.

Common Toyota Land Cruiser Radiator Questions

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard.

Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What can cause my Land Cruiser to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Land Cruiser engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • Why does the radiator in my Land Cruiser sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your Land Cruiser’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
