Effects of Carrying Heavy Loads:

Overloading puts extra stress on your tires, which can lead to quicker wear, tire bulging, o r even blowouts.
Adjust Tire Pressure: If you regularly carry heavy loads, inflate your tires to the higher end of the manufacturer’s recommended range to compensate.

Load Distribution: Make sure the load is evenly distributed in your Hilux to prevent uneven tire wear.
