2016–2025 Toyota Tacoma Tire Maintenance and Tire Sizes

Help keep your Toyota Tacoma rolling at its best by giving its tires the attention they deserve. Regular tire rotations offer a smoother ride and can extend your tires' life by ensuring they wear evenly. Aim to rotate your Tacoma’s tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles—coordinating it with your oil change is an easy way to remember.

Keep an eye on your tire tread depth, too. When it reaches 2/32 inches, or if your tires start showing signs of aging, like cracks or bulges, it’s time for a change.

The Toyota Tacoma has different tire sizes for various trims. Here are some common tire sizes for the third generation:

Tire sizes may vary between different trims and special editions, so it's always best to double-check your owner's manual or the placard inside your Tacoma’s driver-side door.

Trim	Size
Base Models	245/75R16
Higher trims and off-road variants	265/70R16 or 265/65R17

2016–2025 Toyota Tacoma Battery Replacement

Maintaining your Toyota Tacoma's battery is key to reliable starts and overall vehicle health. A car battery typically lasts about 4 to 5 years, but this can vary based on climate, driving habits, and electronic demands. Key indicators that your Tacoma might need a new battery include:

Slower Engine Crank: When the engine turns over more slowly than usual, it's often the first sign that the battery charge is low. Check Engine/Battery Light: The appearance of the battery light on the dashboard could indicate a failing battery. Swelling Battery Case: A battery case that looks swollen or bloated suggests that the battery has gone bad, usually due to excessive heat.

The battery group size and CCA rating will vary depending on the Tacoma's engine type and year. Here are some common specifications:

Always verify the specific battery requirements with your Tacoma’s owner’s manual or a trusted automotive expert. Stop by your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a free battery check or to shop for a battery replacement.
