1998 Nissan 200SX Service, Tires & Repairs

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Nissan 200SX tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Nissan 200SX tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
