Choosing 2011 Nissan Armada Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Nissan Armada tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. 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!

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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan Armada tires online.

Questions About 2011 Nissan Armada Tires

  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Nissan Armada tires? Your tire sidewall gives you information about load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to one of our tire technicians to learn how to read the numbers on your tire!
  • Can I check the tread depth on my Nissan tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Nissan Armada tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

They’ll help you get your Nissan Armada to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long.

Top Nissan ArmadaCar Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Nissan Armada battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Armada’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Armada’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Armada, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2011 Nissan Armada Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2011 Nissan Armada’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Armada may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

2011 Nissan Armada Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Nissan Armada oil light comes on?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Nissan Armada oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan Armada oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan Armada spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Armada: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2011 Nissan Armada

  • What happens if my Nissan Armada spark plugs fail? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Armada? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • How often should I clean my Nissan Armada fuel injectors? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Nissan owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

2011 Nissan Armada Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 2011 Nissan Armada, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Armada bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Nissan Armada, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2011 Armada Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan Armada bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Armada front end dip forward when I brake?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Armada combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Armada's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

2011 Nissan Armada A/C Service Near You

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2011 Nissan Armada A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2011 Nissan Armada’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2011 Nissan Armada, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Nissan's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2011 Nissan Armada A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Armada A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Armada's A/C system.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Armada’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Armada may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

2011 Nissan Armada Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Armada’s performance. 2011 Nissan Armada transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Nissan Armada transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Armada’s not even driveable. Our expert techs are familiar with 2011 Armada services and perform them according to Nissan-recommended specifications. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Armada’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2011 Nissan Armada Transmission Questions & Answers

  • How often does my Armada transmission fluid need to be checked?  Maintaining your Nissan Armada transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Nissan. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Nissan Armada transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Nissan Armada transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a Armada with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Armada to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

Get a 2011 Nissan Armada Vehicle Inspection

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. The technician will begin by testing your Nissan Armada's battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Nissan Armada's windshield wiper blades, lights, filters, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, and alignment.

While every visit to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a Courtesy Check, you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2011 Nissan Armada if you suspect there may be a bigger problem.

2011 Nissan Armada Vehicle Inspection Q and A

  • How do I know if my Nissan Armada needs a check-up? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver. Your Nissan Armada could benefit from a Courtesy Check if it has any illuminated dashboard lights, you hear weird noises coming from any part, the engine doesn't start sometimes, or your vehicle pulls to one side.
  • My 2011 Nissan Armada failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? Did your vehicle fail a recent state inspection test? We can help. Come in for a checkup and we’ll diagnose the issue.
  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Nissan Armada?  The best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Nissan Armada is before going on a road trip for the peace of mind. Another great time is when something abnormal occurs, and you can't pinpoint the issue. You might notice new dashboard lights, hear strange noises from under the hood, or your steering wheel doesn't feel like it once did.

2011 Nissan Armada Radiator Service

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2011 Nissan Armada is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Nissan recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Nissan Armada’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, we’ll take excellent care of your 2011 Nissan Armada at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Common Nissan Armada Radiator Questions

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Nissan?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard.
