Some Toyota dealers and some tire stores rotate tires free of charge but will charge to "balance" the wheels. Discount Tires and my Toyota dealer will rotate free and won't balance the the wheeels is you ask them not to. http://www.leeric.lsu.edu/bgbb/7/ecep/auto/d/d.htm and other web sites have information related to wheel balance. | |

Of course it does.. It's a Toyota. Not just anyone can rotate the tires. Toyota makes precise instruments just for this sort of thing. There's a special Toyota lift, a special Toyota socket and a special Toyota technician who knows exactly the proper way to rotate the tires. ok.. nope.. it doesn't really matter. You could even do it yourself. | |
