Choosing 2020 Toyota Yaris Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Yaris 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 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Yaris.

2020 Toyota Yaris Tire Q&A

  • 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 Yaris tires. Grab a penny.

Your Toyota Yaris engine may be strong and reliable. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power.

  • How long can I expect my Yaris brake pads to last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Yaris 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 Yaris is off? Because your Yaris brake system is a closed hydraulic system, it should not leak brake fluid. However, if components in your brake system have worn out or been damaged, it might cause brake fluid to leak.

  • Why is my Yaris malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? If your Yaris has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Yaris serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your Yaris should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

2020 Toyota Yaris Wheel Alignment

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Toyota Yaris’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. 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.

After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Questions About Toyota Yaris Alignment

  • Are there road conditions that can hurt my Toyota Yaris alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your Yaris need a wheel alignment? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Yaris owner’s manual for Toyota's exact recommended schedule.
  • Do you need to get your Yaris wheels aligned? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Yaris, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

Questions About 2020 Toyota Yaris Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my Yaris turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Yaris testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Are Toyota Yaris engine noises bad?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Yaris engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Yaris engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold.

Your Questions About Toyota Yaris 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? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • Why do the tires on my Yaris keep losing air?  If your Yaris tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Yaris’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Yaris, 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.

  • Can I change my Toyota Yaris 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.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2020 Toyota Yaris

  • What happens if my Toyota Yaris spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

  • How often should I clean my Toyota Yaris fuel injectors? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Yaris fuel injectors.

2020 Toyota Yaris Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 2020 Toyota Yaris, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Yaris bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Toyota Yaris, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Yaris suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done.

Questions About 2020 Toyota Yaris Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Yaris 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Yaris to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Yaris 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.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.

Questions About 2020 Toyota Yaris A/C Systems

  • 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 Yaris's A/C system.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Yaris’s A/C to work?  Damaged or worn components in your Yaris’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.

  • Can I drive my Toyota Yaris with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your Yaris with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.
