Choosing 2010 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 how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. 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 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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 Frontier tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • How do I check the tread depth on my Nissan tires? 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 Frontier 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.

  • What is the average lifespan of Frontier brake pads? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Should my Frontier be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Frontier has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • Why is my Frontier malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Frontier’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Frontier serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your Frontier should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Wheel Alignment for 2010 Nissan Frontier

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Nissan Frontier's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. In an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Nissan intended. Bring your 2010 Nissan Frontier in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Nissan recommendations.

Answers to Nissan Frontier Alignment Questions

  • How can I avoid knocking my Nissan Frontier out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Frontier? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your Frontier owner’s manual for Nissan's exact recommended schedule.
  • Does getting new Frontier tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Frontier, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.

Engine Q&A 2010 Nissan Frontier

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Frontier? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Are Nissan Frontier engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Nissan Frontier engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Nissan Frontier engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up.

2010 Nissan Frontier Tire Repair

Firestone Complete Auto Care is here for you when your 2010 Nissan Frontier needs flat tire repair or inspection. Our tire technicians can determine whether it's safe to plug and patch the tire, or whether it needs to be replaced. We'll start by evaluating the state of wear, the location of damage, type of damage, and the size of the damage.

If we determine that your 2010 Nissan Frontier tire can be safely repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.

Nissan Frontier Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Frontier engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Will a temporary sealant 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.
  • Why do the tires on my Frontier keep losing air? Your Frontier tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

Top Nissan FrontierCar Battery Questions

  • Why won’t my Nissan Frontier battery hold a charge?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Frontier’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Frontier car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

2010 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends changing your 2010 Frontier’s oil at regular intervals. Outside of Nissan-recommended oil change intervals, your Frontier may need an oil change 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 might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Nissan if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2010 Nissan Frontier motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult Nissan's recommendations to select the right  2010 Frontier oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: 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. During an oil change, a technician will change your Frontier's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Frontier today.

2010 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Q&A

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan Frontier to illuminate?  Your Nissan Frontier oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?  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 Frontier exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  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.

2010 Nissan Frontier Tune-Up & Engine Service

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Frontier. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Nissan Frontier engine tune-up services.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Frontier. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Frontier. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Frontier's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

2010 Nissan Frontier Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Nissan Frontier spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Nissan Frontier? 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 frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan Frontier need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2010 Nissan Frontier

When you first drove your 2010 Nissan Frontier, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Frontier bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Nissan Frontier in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Questions About 2010 Nissan Frontier Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Nissan Frontier bouncing excessively?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Frontier to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Frontier's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Frontier's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • 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.

2010 Nissan Frontier A/C Service Near You

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2010 Nissan Frontier A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2010 Nissan Frontier A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

While your 2010 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). Then, they’ll use Nissan’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2010 Nissan Frontier A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Frontier A/C? 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?  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 Frontier's A/C system.
  • What is causing my Frontier’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Frontier may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Transmission Services for 2010 Nissan Frontier

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. 2010 Nissan Frontier transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Nissan Frontier transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Frontier isn’t working at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2010 Frontier up to Nissan-recommended standards. If you think there’s something wrong with your Frontier’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your Nissan running for miles and miles.

2010 Nissan Frontier Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Frontier's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Nissan Frontier 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Nissan Frontier?  Yes. Nissan Frontier 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 Frontier with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Frontier if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Nissan?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What is causing my Frontier to overheat?  Your Nissan Frontier engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • What can cause a Frontier radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? 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!).
