What tires are best for a 1989 Toyota MR2? Check out the following tire brands and types.
Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota MR2 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 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!
Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota MR2 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
