What tires are best for a 1999 Nissan Altima? Check out the following tire brands and types.
Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Altima tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. 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 diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Nissan Altima tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

No matter the mileage, your Altima may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.
