The tires of your Nissan are an essential part of its functionality. After all, the tires are the only part of the vehicle that actually meets the ground, so maintaining the best traction takes priority. With so many tire brands and tire types, it can be difficult to determine which types of tires are right for your car. Let us answer some of your frequently asked questions about your tires at Napoli Nissan.
Do All-Season Tires Really Work all Year?
As their name suggests, all-season tires should provide optimal traction throughout the year, as long as they're properly maintained. However, if your vehicle does not have a 4X4 or all-wheel-drive, you may wish to consider a set of winter tires, which will provide the right grip during these months.
How do I Know if My Vehicle Needs Winter Tires?
If your vehicle has four-wheel or all-wheel-drive, it might not require winter-specific tires as its drivetrain is designed for adverse weather conditions like ice and snow. Your vehicle's weight is a good determiner of what types of tires you need; heavier vehicles with AWD or 4WD will like work well with all-season cars, but lighter sedans might need them installed.
How do I know if my Nissan Needs Summer Tires?
Summer tires work best when expecting high heat and rain during the summer. Many Nissan models, like the 37OZ, may already feature summer tires, which are also known as "performance tires," due to their resilience. The shallower grooves and asymmetric tread patterns of summer tires ensure more rubber contacts the road, giving you a better grip when cornering, accelerating, and braking on a summer day.
Does Nissan have Its Own Brand of Tires?
No, but our dealership carries all major brands approved for Nissan, especially Bridgestone, which you will typically find on these vehicles. Our other available brands include BF Goodrich, Pirelli, Michelin, and Continental Tires.
