Choosing 2017 Nissan Frontier Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Nissan Frontier tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. 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. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set 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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan Frontier tires online.

2017 Nissan Frontier Tire Q&A

  • What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Nissan Frontier? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Nissan tire numbers.
  • Is there an easy way to check Nissan tire tread depth? 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.

Get Your 2017 Nissan Frontier Brakes Fixed

Your Nissan Frontier may be powered by a strong engine. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait!

Answers to Your Frontier Brakes Questions

  • Why does my Frontier shake when I brake? Feeling shaking or vibrating in your Frontier as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.
  • How often do I need to replace my Frontier brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Frontier brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your Frontier brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

2017 Nissan Frontier Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 Nissan Frontier Drivetrain Q&A

  • How do I know if my Nissan drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Nissan Frontier, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Frontier? If your Frontier has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Frontier? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Frontier, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

2017 Nissan Frontier Wheel Alignment

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Nissan Frontier's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Nissan intended them to. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2017 Nissan Frontier, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Nissan.

Questions About Nissan Frontier Alignment

  • How can I avoid knocking my Nissan Frontier out of alignment? When it’s safe to do so, avoid driving over potholes or hitting curbs. These road obstacles can wreak havoc on your wheel alignment, as can wear and tear from rough road conditions.
  • How frequently should you get a wheel alignment for your Frontier?  Check your Frontier owner's manual for Nissan's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Do you need to get your Frontier wheels aligned?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Frontier, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

2017 Nissan Frontier Engine Repair

If your 2017 Nissan Frontier needs engine repair, our expert techs will let you know what needs to be done and why before they get started. We make recommendations, but you make the final decision.

Engine Q&A 2017 Nissan Frontier

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Frontier? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Frontier testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Nissan Frontier making engine noise? 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.
  • What could damage my 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. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Tire Repair for Your 2017 Nissan Frontier

If the road has been rough on your 2017 Nissan Frontier tires, Firestone Complete Auto Care can help. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.

If your 2017 Nissan Frontier tire puncture can be repaired, the repair process is actually fairly simple: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (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

  • Can I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? Driving on a flat or underinflated tire can put extra stress on your wheels and alignment. While it’s sometimes necessary to drive a short distance on a flat tire to get to a safe place, don’t take any other trips in your Frontier until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • 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 my Frontier tires 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.

2017 Nissan Frontier Maintenance Information

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2017 Nissan Frontier!

Questions About 2017 Nissan Frontier Maintenance

  • When should I have Nissan Frontier alignment checked?  Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Nissan Frontier need high mileage oil?  If your Nissan Frontier has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Nissan?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Nissan Frontier, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Commonly Asked Nissan Frontier Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Nissan Frontier battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old.

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?  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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Frontier’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Frontier car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2017 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2017 Nissan Frontier’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Your Frontier may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2017 Nissan Frontier motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. 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, a technician will change your Frontier's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. Let the experts take care of your Frontier’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

2017 Nissan Frontier Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Nissan Frontier oil light comes on?  Your Nissan Frontier oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan Frontier oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan Frontier 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.

2017 Nissan Frontier Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Frontier’s engine. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2017 Nissan Frontier. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Frontier's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel 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. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Frontier: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Check with a teammate at Firestone Complete Auto Care for complete terms and conditions regarding warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2017 Nissan Frontier

  • 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. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • 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 often do Nissan Frontier fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Frontier fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2017 Nissan Frontier

During the first few years you had your 2017 Nissan Frontier, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Frontier feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 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.

2017 Nissan Frontier Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Nissan Frontier 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Frontier to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's 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.

Convenient & Local 2017 Nissan Frontier A/C Service

Our technicians will work to solve your 2017 Nissan Frontier A/C problems to the best of their ability. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 Nissan Frontier A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Nissan Frontier, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Nissan guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 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?  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.
  • Why won’t my Frontier’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Frontier’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2017 Nissan Frontier Transmission Service & Repairs

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. 2017 Nissan Frontier transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Nissan Frontier transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Frontier at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2017 Frontier services and perform them according to Nissan-recommended specifications. 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.

Questions About 2017 Nissan Frontier’s Transmission

  • When should I have my Frontier's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2017 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 Nissan Frontier transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Nissan Frontier, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Can I drive my Nissan Frontier 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 Frontier to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

Vehicle Inspection for 2017 Nissan Frontier

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check. To start, one of our technicians will check the battery in your Nissan Frontier to determine how much charge remains. After we’ve inspected your Nissan Frontier’s battery, we’ll visually inspect your lights, windshield wipers, filters, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

While every visit to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a Courtesy Check, we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 2017 Nissan Frontier if you prefer. During a Complete Vehicle Inspection, we’ll visually check everything that’s on the list for a Courtesy Check. Additionally, we’ll perform a hands-on examination of your exhaust system, steering and suspension, and brakes. With this inspection, we want to help you stay on top of any issues that may wreak havoc on your 2017 Nissan Frontier if left unaddressed.

Depending on where you live, your local Firestone Complete Auto Care may be able to perform state-mandated inspections or safety tests on your vehicle. Specific requirements for these types of inspections vary by state.

Common 2017 Nissan Frontier Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • How do I know if my Nissan Frontier needs a check-up? You drive your car, day in and day out, so you know it best. If you notice unusual engine noises or you can’t shake the feeling that something is 'off,' start with a Courtesy Check to stay ahead of potential issues.
  • My 2017 Nissan Frontier failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? There's a good chance we can. Stop by for a full system inspection and we'll get to the root of the issue.
  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Nissan Frontier?  You should bring your Nissan Frontier in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem. A new dashboard light might come on, you may hear strange sounds under the hood, or your steering might feel off. A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

Radiator Service & Repair for 2017 Nissan Frontier

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2017 Nissan Frontier 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. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown 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 Frontier’s cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’ll take excellent care of your 2017 Nissan Frontier at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
