Choosing 2018 Toyota Mirai Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Mirai tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets 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!

Next, consider your driving style. 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 Mirai tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny.

  • How often do I need to replace my Mirai brake pads? In general, brake pads can last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving on highways mostly and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Mirai is off? Your Mirai has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

  • Why is my Mirai malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Mirai’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Mirai serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Mirai. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Mirai.

During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When you bring in your 2018 Toyota Mirai, we’ll perform an alignment check first. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota Mirai Alignment

  • What can knock my Toyota Mirai out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your Mirai? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Mirai owner’s manual for Toyota's recommended interval.
  • Do you need to get your Mirai wheels aligned?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Mirai, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

Engine Q&A 2018 Toyota Mirai

  • Why does my Mirai’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Mirai. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Mirai 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.

2018 Toyota Mirai Tire Repair

Toyota Mirai Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Mirai as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Toyota's tires? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • What can cause Mirai tires to keep losing air?  If your Mirai tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

During the first few years you had your 2018 Toyota Mirai, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Mirai jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump.

2018 Toyota Mirai Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Toyota Mirai bounce so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Mirai to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Mirai's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Mirai 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.
  • 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.

A/C Service for Your 2018 Toyota Mirai

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2018 Toyota Mirai A/C problems.

This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Toyota Mirai, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge.

The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Toyota Mirai A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Mirai A/C put out warm air?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Mirai’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why won’t my Mirai’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 Mirai’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 Toyota Mirai transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Mirai, 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 Mirai with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Mirai if it’s leaking transmission fluid.
