Top Care Tips for Your Toyota of Orlando Ride

We’ve talked about size, tire pressure, and even what tools you’ll need to get this all done. Our experts at Toyota of Orlando want you to know what we know—how to care for your tires.

  • Tire Rotations: These are so important to get done about every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. The tire rotations allow your tires to wear out evenly and last longer without replacement.
  • Replacement: If you have worn-out tires, it’s extremely important to replace your tires as soon as possible. By avoiding when you need a tire replacement, it can lead to losing traction and can result in an accident. 
  • Worn-out tires: it’s important to check your tread; you can see if it’s getting low or wearing out unevenly. 
  • Uneven wear out: If you’ve noticed uneven worn-out tires, you’ll need an alignment and balancing of your tires.
