What tires are best for a 1988 Nissan D21? 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 D21 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set 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 an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Browse Nissan D21 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
We sell tires, but we also service them and care for all the around-the-wheel components. We're a tire store that also offers professional tire installation, maintenance, and rotation, along with complete auto care.

Nissan recommends having your 1988 Nissan D21’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your D21 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Nissan if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.
Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Nissan D21. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can choose from the following oils: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your D21’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle.

The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your D21. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system.

This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your D21: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.
