2016 Toyota Tundra Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Tundra tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. 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. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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 Tundra tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Get Your Toyota Tundra Tire Repaired

If your 2016 Toyota Tundra is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back.

If we determine that your 2016 Toyota Tundra tire can be safely repaired, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.

Your Questions About Toyota Tundra Tire Repair, Answered

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment.

  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit.

Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.

  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Toyota Tundra?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Tundra engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Toyota?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible.

Answers to Your Toyota Tundra Car Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Tundra battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Tundra’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Tundra, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Tundra’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

2016 Toyota Tundra Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 2016 Toyota Tundra’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Tundra may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Tundra. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Tundra oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Tundra's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Tundra's engine.

2016 Toyota Tundra Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Tundra to illuminate?  The oil change light in your Toyota Tundra could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota Tundra oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Tundra exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

2016 Toyota Tundra Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Tundra’s power on the road. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Tundra engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Tundra. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Tundra's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Tundra's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Check with a teammate at Firestone Complete Auto Care for complete terms and conditions regarding warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2016 Toyota Tundra

  • Will it hurt my Toyota Tundra to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota Tundra mean? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often do Toyota Tundra fuel injectors need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2016 Toyota Tundra

During the first few years you had your 2016 Toyota Tundra, 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. Perhaps your Tundra feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Toyota Tundra in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2016 Tundra Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota Tundra bouncing excessively? 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 Tundra tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Tundra 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?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Convenient & Local 2016 Toyota Tundra A/C Service

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2016 Toyota Tundra A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2016 Toyota Tundra A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 2016 Toyota Tundra’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

2016 Toyota Tundra A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Tundra A/C blowing hot 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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 Tundra’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Tundra’s A/C to work?  Damaged or worn components in your Tundra’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2016 Toyota Tundra Transmission Service

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2016 Toyota Tundra transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Tundra transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your Tundra isn’t working at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2016 Tundra up to Toyota-recommended standards. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Tundra’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2016 Toyota Tundra Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my Tundra's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Tundra transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Toyota Tundra leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota Tundra transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Should I avoid driving my Toyota Tundra if there is a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Tundra to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
