About 1993 Toyota MR2 Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota MR2 tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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 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!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. 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 MR2 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

1993 MR2 Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 1993 Toyota MR2, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MR2 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 Toyota MR2 in for suspension and steering service.

Questions About 1993 Toyota MR2 Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Toyota MR2 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my MR2's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MR2'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 role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's 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.

1993 Toyota MR2 A/C System FAQs

  • What causes A/C system leaks?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your MR2's A/C system.
  • Why does my MR2’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your MR2 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota MR2?  Yes. Toyota MR2 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota MR2 if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.

Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my MR2 overheating?  If your Toyota MR2 engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • Why does the radiator in my MR2 sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? There could be air pockets in your MR2’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
