About 2010 Nissan GT-R Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan GT-R 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets 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 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. 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 GT-R.

2010 Nissan GT-R Tire Q&A

  • Is Nissan tire inflation important? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Nissan GT-R tires? 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.
  • 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 GT-R 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. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Nissan GT-R tires.

  • How long should my GT-R brake pads last? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your GT-R 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.
  • Is it bad if my GT-R is leaking brake fluid when off?

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.

Nissan GT-R Alignment Questions

  • How can I avoid knocking my Nissan GT-R 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 GT-R?  Check your GT-R 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 GT-R wheels aligned when you get new tires?  You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your GT-R, but it's a super smart idea!

Engine Q&A 2010 Nissan GT-R

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Nissan GT-R 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.

  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Nissan's tires? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit.

Top Nissan GT-RCar Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Nissan GT-R battery stay charged?  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? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my GT-R’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your GT-R, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your GT-R’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

2010 Nissan GT-R Oil Changes

Nissan recommends changing your 2010 GT-R’s oil at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your GT-R may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2010 Nissan GT-R motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Nissan GT-R oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your GT-R’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Let the experts take care of your GT-R’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2010 Nissan GT-R

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R oil light illuminated?  Your Nissan GT-R 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 GT-R 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 GT-R spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your GT-R’s engine. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2010 Nissan GT-R. 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 GT-R's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your GT-R's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your GT-R can determine what kind of service it needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

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

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2010 Nissan GT-R

  • When should Nissan GT-R spark plugs be replaced? 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 GT-R? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Nissan GT-R need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

2010 GT-R Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 2010 Nissan GT-R, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GT-R jolts, drifts 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 2010 Nissan GT-R in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GT-R suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2010 Nissan GT-R Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R bouncing so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GT-R 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 GT-R front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GT-R'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?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

2010 Nissan GT-R A/C Service Near You

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2010 Nissan GT-R A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2010 Nissan GT-R A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Nissan guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2010 Nissan GT-R A/C Systems

  • Why do I get hot air from my GT-R A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • 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 GT-R's A/C system.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my GT-R’s A/C to work?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your GT-R’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2010 Nissan GT-R

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, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away.

Our technicians are trained to service 2010  Nissan GT-R transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations.

2010 Nissan GT-R Transmission Q&A

  • Does my GT-R's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Caring for your Nissan GT-R’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Nissan GT-R?  Yes. Nissan GT-R 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.
  • Can I drive my Nissan GT-R with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your GT-R with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Nissan GT-R cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’re here to give your 2010 Nissan GT-R the top-notch service it needs.

Questions About Nissan GT-R Radiators

  • 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 can cause my GT-R to overheat?  Your Nissan GT-R engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • My GT-R radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?  Air pockets in your GT-R’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
