Choosing 2019 Nissan GT-R Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Nissan GT-R 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets 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!

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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan GT-R tires online.

Questions About 2019 Nissan GT-R Tires

  • Why check Nissan tire inflation? Even a tiny decrease in tire pressure could impact your safety and fuel economy. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan.
  • What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Nissan GT-R? The numbers on your tire sidewall give you information about tire speed rating, traction, treadwear, tire size, and load carrying capacity. Chat with a tire technician to learn how to read the numbers on your Nissan tires!
  • 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.

  • What's wrong if something feels 'off' in my Nissan? No, we’re not talking about finding the best jams on the radio! You know your car best, and you’re the first person who will notice if something doesn’t feel right (like new smells, sights, or sounds coming from your car). If you sense that something is 'off,' stop in for a Courtesy Check to have these symptoms checked out ASAP. Early action could help you prevent Nissan GT-R repairs.

2019 Nissan GT-R Brake Repair

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Nissan  GT-R. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait!

Nissan GT-R Brakes Frequently Asked Questions

  • What can cause my GT-R to shake when I apply the brakes? If your GT-R shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • 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.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your GT-R brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.

2019 Nissan GT-R Drivetrain Repairs

Questions About 2019 Nissan GT-R

  • What are signs my Nissan drivetrain is damaged? Your Nissan GT-R drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • Why is my GT-R malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? If your GT-R 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 GT-R? A drivetrain malfunction in your GT-R 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.

2019 Nissan GT-R Alignment Services

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Nissan GT-R's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your 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 2019 Nissan GT-R in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Nissan’s recommended measurements.

Nissan GT-R Alignment Questions

  • What can knock my Nissan GT-R 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 often does your GT-R need a wheel alignment? Typically, your alignment should be checked every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Double-check your GT-R owner’s manual for Nissan's exact recommended schedule.
  • Do you need an alignment with new GT-R 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! An alignment can help ensure optimal tire wear, fuel efficiency, and handling. Still, you should reference your GT-R owner’s manual for what’s recommended.

2019 Nissan GT-R Engine Repair

If your 2019 GT-R engine needs repairs, our technicians will make sure you understand what’s going on before they start working on your engine. We don't start working until we have your approval. If a repair can wait, we'll let you know. We'll also tell you if it's necessary for your safety. We want to provide you with the information you need to make an informed engine repair decision. Choose Firestone Complete Auto Care for Nissan GT-R engine repairs and you can drive easy knowing that we use Nissan-approved parts and fluids — cambelt, oil gasket, ignition coil, or a different component.

2019 Nissan GT-R Engine Q&A

  • Why does my GT-R’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your GT-R firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Nissan GT-R engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Nissan GT-R. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my Nissan GT-R engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Tire Repair for Your 2019 Nissan GT-R

If your 2019 Nissan GT-R is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. 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. 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 2019 Nissan GT-R tire can be safely repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Nissan GT-R 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 GT-R until you can have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Nissan's tires? 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 GT-R to keep losing air? Your GT-R tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

2019 Nissan GT-R Maintenance Q&A

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Nissan GT-R?  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 GT-R need high mileage oil?  If your Nissan GT-R 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!

Commonly Asked Nissan GT-R Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Nissan GT-R battery stay charged?  A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. 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?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your GT-R’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your GT-R, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2019 Nissan GT-R Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2019 Nissan GT-R’s motor oil changed 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, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2019 Nissan GT-R motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. 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. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your GT-R’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Let the experts take care of your GT-R’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

2019 Nissan GT-R Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan GT-R oil light illuminated?  Your Nissan GT-R 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?  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 GT-R exhaust smoke grayish or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

2019 Nissan GT-R Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your GT-R. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Nissan GT-R engine tune-up services. 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. 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 GT-R. 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. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

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

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2019 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 does a puddle underneath my Nissan GT-R mean? 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 GT-R need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your GT-R 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 2019 Nissan GT-R

When you first bought your 2019 Nissan GT-R, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your GT-R bounces, leans 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 2019 Nissan GT-R, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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.

2019 Nissan GT-R Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Nissan GT-R bounce so much?  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.
  • 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?  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 2019 Nissan GT-R A/C Service

Our technicians will work to solve your 2019 Nissan GT-R A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2019 Nissan GT-R A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2019 Nissan GT-R A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Nissan’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

2019 Nissan GT-R A/C System FAQs

  • What’s making my GT-R A/C put out warm air?  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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  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.
  • What is causing my GT-R’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  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.

2019 Nissan GT-R Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your GT-R’s performance. 2019 Nissan GT-R transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Nissan GT-R transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or discover that your GT-R’s not even driveable. Our technicians know how to service your 2019 GT-R up to Nissan-recommended standards. If you think there’s something wrong with your GT-R’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2019 Nissan GT-R Transmission Q&A

  • Does my GT-R's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan GT-R 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.
  • Can my Nissan GT-R leak transmission fluid?  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.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan GT-R if there is 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 GT-R to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

2019 Nissan GT-R Inspections

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. To start, one of our technicians will check the battery in your Nissan GT-R to find out how much charge is remaining on it. We’ll follow the battery inspection with a visual check of your Nissan GT-R’s filters, lights, wiper blades, hoses, alignment, tires, fluid levels, and belts.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 2019 Nissan GT-R if you prefer. In addition to a visual check of everything that's included in a Courtesy Check, a Complete Vehicle Inspection also includes a hands-on examination of your steering, suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. This inspection is aimed at informing you of any major problems that could need immediate attention in order to prevent further damage.

In some cities or states, you may be able to take care of your state inspection or safety test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Inspections are performed on a state-by-state basis and requirements vary.

2019 Nissan GT-R Vehicle Inspection Q and A
