About 1999 Nissan Frontier Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Frontier 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. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Nissan Frontier.

Engine Q&A 1999 Nissan Frontier

Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt.

Get Your Nissan Frontier Tire Repaired

Firestone Complete Auto Care is here for you when your 1999 Nissan Frontier needs flat tire repair or inspection. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced).

Your Questions About Nissan Frontier Tire Repair, Answered

  • Can I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Frontier as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Nissan's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • What is causing the tires on my Frontier to keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Frontier tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

1999 Nissan Frontier Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • Will it hurt my Nissan Frontier to drive with old spark plugs?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty.

  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Frontier? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Nissan Frontier. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

1999 Frontier Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 1999 Nissan Frontier, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Frontier jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Nissan Frontier in for steering and suspension services. We'll get to the root of the problem 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.

1999 Nissan Frontier Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Nissan Frontier to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Frontier goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Frontier's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Frontier 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 tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

A/C Service for Your 1999 Nissan Frontier

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 1999 Nissan Frontier A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1999 Nissan Frontier’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 1999 Nissan Frontier’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Nissan's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Questions About 1999 Nissan Frontier A/C Systems

  • Why is my Frontier 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 causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Frontier’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my Frontier’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  Damaged or worn components in your Frontier’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

1999 Nissan Frontier Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. 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 Frontier’s performance. 1999 Nissan Frontier transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Nissan Frontier transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Frontier’s not even driveable. Our technicians are trained to service 1999  Nissan Frontier transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

1999 Nissan Frontier Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my Frontier's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 Frontier’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Nissan's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Nissan Frontier? Yes, your Nissan Frontier can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Frontier ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan Frontier if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.

Radiator Service & Repair for 1999 Nissan Frontier

Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • My Frontier overheated! What can cause that?  If your Nissan Frontier engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • My Frontier radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? There could be air pockets in your Frontier’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
