Let’s go!

Toyota Corolla Tires: Which ones are best?

When it comes to choosing Toyota Corolla tires, you want to make sure you’re choosing a reliable and appropriate brand (but also one that won’t break the bank). Remember, putting the wrong tires on your car can reduce fuel efficiency and negatively impact your vehicle’s performance, so choose wisely. Here are the top three Toyota Corolla tires types we recommend at Toyota of Orlando.

• Michelin Defender
• Dunlop Enasave
• General Reliatrek

All three will give you a solid bang for your buck, a long life (as long as you take care of them), and great performance. All-season tires are your best bet here in Central Florida; we don’t see snow or ice, so as long as your tires can handle hot temperatures and rainy days, you’re set for the year.

Which Toyota Corolla tire size do you need?

Your Toyota Corolla tire size will depend on the model (like the LE or SE, etc.) that you drive as well as the model year. If you’re not sure which size works for your car, ask one of our Orlando auto service experts. However, these tires typically range in size and include:

• 195/65R15
• 205/55R16
• 215/45R17
• 225/40R18

Figure out which tire size best suits your particular car before you buy and make sure that they’re installed properly before you hit the road. Our Toyota service center in Orlando can help you find the right tires and install them quickly and efficiently.

A guide to Toyota Corolla tire pressure

You should be checking your tire pressure routinely (although newer models tend to offer convenient tire pressure readouts right there on your dash). You can also consult your owner’s manual to find out what your Toyota Corolla tire pressure should be, or ask one of our Orlando Toyota service techs. Having the proper tire pressure helps regulate your fuel efficiency, ensures even wear, and helps your tires last longer. Your Toyota Corolla tire pressure should be around 38 psi in the front tires and 36 psi in the rear tires. However, always check your owner’s manual for your specific model and model year to ensure you have the right pressure.

How to take care of your Toyota Corolla tires

How can you care for your new tires to ensure that they last a long time and give you the performance and efficiency you deserve? Here are some tips from the experts at our auto service center:

• Be sure to get routine car care specifically for your tires. This means tire rotations – you should be scheduling them every 5,000 miles or so for even wear on all four tires.
• Keep an eye on your tire tread. We recommend doing the penny test – place a penny in the tire tread so the top of Abraham Lincoln’s head is touching the tire. If you can see the top of his head, your tread is too low and it’s time for new tires.
• Inspect your tires often. Look for damage (like rips or blisters), as well as excessive wear and tear (like lack of tread or sidewall separation).
• Make sure they’re always inflated to the proper PSI. Under or overinflation can damage your tires and negatively impact fuel efficiency and performance.
• Swap them out when it’s time! We get it – no one wants to spend money on new tires. But worn-out tires can be dangerous to both you and your vehicle.
