1993 Nissan 240SX Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan 240SX tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Browse Nissan 240SX tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

Questions About 1993 Nissan 240SX Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Nissan 240SX bounce so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Nissan 240SX might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 240SX to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 240SX's front end to dip forward.

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires.

Questions About Nissan 240SX Radiators

  • What does the coolant light on my Nissan dashboard mean?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is causing my 240SX to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Nissan 240SX engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What is making my 240SX radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?  Air pockets in your 240SX’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
