2015 Nissan GT-R Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan GT-R tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy 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!

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. 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.

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Nissan tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny.

  • Is it bad if my GT-R is leaking brake fluid when off? Your GT-R 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.

If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Nissan recommendations.

  • Are Nissan GT-R engine noises bad?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Nissan GT-R engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Nissan engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Nissan GT-R Tire Repair Questions

  • How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car.

They’ll help you get your Nissan GT-R to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long.

  • When should I switch my Nissan GT-R to high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Nissan GT-R engines.

Commonly Asked Nissan GT-R Battery Questions

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my GT-R’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 GT-R 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.

2015 Nissan GT-R Oil Changes

Your 2015 GT-R’s oil should be changed according to Nissan’s recommended oil change intervals. Your GT-R may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of 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 go long distances at low speeds.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2015 Nissan GT-R 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.

Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your GT-R today.

2015 Nissan GT-R Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R oil light illuminated?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Nissan GT-R oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan GT-R oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan GT-R exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  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.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2015 Nissan GT-R

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your GT-R’s power on the road. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Nissan GT-R engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your GT-R. 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. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your GT-R's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

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

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2015 Nissan GT-R

  • Will it hurt my Nissan GT-R 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 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 often should I clean my Nissan GT-R fuel injectors? 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.

2015 Nissan GT-R Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 2015 Nissan GT-R, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your GT-R jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 Nissan GT-R, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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.

2015 GT-R Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R bouncing excessively?  Excessive bouncing in your Nissan GT-R might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my GT-R to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your GT-R 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?  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.

2015 Nissan GT-R A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 2015 Nissan GT-R A/C problems to the best of their ability. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2015 Nissan GT-R A/C system to see if repair work is required.

The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2015 Nissan GT-R A/C System FAQs

  • What’s making my GT-R A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your GT-R’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • What is causing my GT-R’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  Damaged or worn components in your GT-R’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.

Transmission Services for 2015 Nissan GT-R

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your GT-R’s performance. 2015 Nissan GT-R transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Nissan GT-R transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your GT-R isn’t working at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2015 GT-R up to Nissan-recommended standards. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your GT-R’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2015 Nissan GT-R Transmission Q&A

  • How often does my GT-R transmission fluid need to be checked?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2015 GT-R’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 GT-R? Yes, your Nissan GT-R can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your GT-R 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 GT-R if there is 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.
