Change Your Tires at Heffner Toyota
Canadian drivers are no strangers to regular tire changes. Though tires have a lengthy lifespan, there are many reasons why your Toyota will need one scheduled throughout the year. Our extreme climate means that road surfaces can vary between blistering hot surfaces in the heat of summer, to slippery hazards in Canada’s famously snowy winters. That’s not to mention everyday wear and tear! Keep reading to learn more about changing your tires and why you should choose Heffner Toyota’s certified technicians.

How Often Should You Change Your Tires?
In general, we recommend that you change your tires approximately every 80,000 km (or, around 50,000 miles), or every six years–whichever comes first. Of course, there are additional reasons to change your tires, such as uneven wear, balding, bulging, or other visible signs of aging or damage. As well, seasonal tire changes should be booked as required based on consistent changes in the temperature and respective road conditions. If you’re unsure about your Toyota’s tires, be sure to consult your owner’s manual or one of our service advisors.
