2018 Toyota Tundra Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Tundra tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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!) 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!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Tundra tires online.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Tundra Tires

  • Why does Toyota tire inflation matter? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Toyota Tundra? The numbers on your tire sidewall give you information about tire speed rating, traction, treadwear, tire size, and load carrying capacity. Chat with a tire technician to learn how to read the numbers on your Toyota tires!
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tundra tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Tundra tires.

Bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care at recommended service intervals to address minor issues before they get out of hand and keep your car running newer, longer.
  • What's wrong if something feels 'off' in my Toyota? No, we’re not talking about finding the best jams on the radio! You know your car best, and you’re the first person who will notice if something doesn’t feel right (like new smells, sights, or sounds coming from your car). If you sense that something is 'off,' stop in for a Courtesy Check to have these symptoms checked out ASAP. Early action could help you prevent Toyota Tundra repairs.
  • Are the repairs you recommend for my Toyota actually needed? Trust is more than just a saying on the wall. It’s a window underneath it. That’s why we won’t recommend services or repairs for your 2018 Toyota Tundra unless we think they’re vital to your safety on the road.

Get Your 2018 Toyota Tundra Brakes Fixed

Your Toyota Tundra engine may be strong and reliable. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills.

Questions About Your Toyota Tundra Brakes

Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • What is the average lifespan of Tundra brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Tundra can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Tundra is off? Your Tundra brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.

Repairing Your Toyota Tundra Drivetrain

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care.

These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • What causes a Tundra’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? A multitude of problems can activate your Tundra’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Tundra serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Tundra. 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 Tundra.

2018 Toyota Tundra Alignment Services

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota Tundra’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Toyota intended them to. When you bring in your 2018 Toyota Tundra, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Toyota.

Answers to Toyota Tundra Alignment Questions

  • How can I avoid knocking my Toyota Tundra out of alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your Tundra need a wheel alignment? Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your Tundra owner’s manual to verify Toyota’s suggested interval.
  • Does getting new Tundra tires mean you need an alignment?  You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your Tundra, but it's a super smart idea! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your Tundra owner’s manual for what’s recommended.

2018 Toyota Tundra Engine Services

Questions About 2018 Toyota Tundra Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Tundra? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Tundra firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Toyota Tundra making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Tundra. 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.
  • What could damage my Toyota Tundra engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Tire Repair for Your 2018 Toyota Tundra

If your 2018 Toyota Tundra tire puncture can be repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (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

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? 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 Tundra as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? 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.
  • Why do my Tundra tires keep losing air?  If your Tundra tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Top Toyota TundraCar Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Tundra battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  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.

2018 Toyota Tundra Oil Change Service

Your 2018 Tundra’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. No matter the mileage, your Tundra may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2018 Toyota Tundra motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult Toyota's recommendations to select the right  2018 Tundra oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

2018 Toyota Tundra Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Tundra to illuminate?  Your Toyota Tundra oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Toyota Tundra oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota Tundra spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

2018 Toyota Tundra Tune-Up & Engine Service

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Tundra. 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*. The second service focuses on your Tundra's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Tundra’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Tundra can determine what kind of service it needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

2018 Toyota Tundra Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota Tundra spark plugs be replaced? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Tundra? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Tundra. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Tundra fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2018 Toyota Tundra

When you first bought your 2018 Toyota Tundra, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Tundra feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Toyota Tundra in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Tundra Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Tundra bouncing excessively?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Tundra to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Tundra to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Tundra combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • 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.

Convenient & Local 2018 Toyota Tundra A/C Service

Our technicians will work to solve your 2018 Toyota Tundra A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Toyota Tundra A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

While your 2018 Toyota Tundra’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Tundra A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Tundra A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • 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.
  • What is causing my Tundra’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Tundra is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2018 Toyota Tundra Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2018 Toyota Tundra transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Toyota Tundra transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Tundra at all. Our technicians are trained to service 2018  Toyota Tundra transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Tundra’s Transmission

  • Does my Tundra's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Caring for your Toyota Tundra’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. 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 my Toyota Tundra leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Toyota Tundra can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Tundra ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Is it okay to drive a Tundra with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Tundra if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.

Common Toyota Tundra Radiator Questions

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Tundra overheating?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Tundra 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.
  • My Tundra radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?  Your Tundra’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
