Carrying Heavy Loads:

Increased Pressure on Rear Tires: Carrying excessive weight, particularly in the rear, can lead to faster wear on the rear tires.
Improper Load Distribution: Uneven load distribution causes some tires to bear more weight than others, leading to premature wear.

Tip: Try to distribute the load evenly and stay within the recommended weight limits for your Hilux.
