2017 Nissan Leaf Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan Leaf tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) 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!

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. Browse Nissan Leaf tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2017 Nissan Leaf Tire Q&A

  • Why check Nissan tire inflation? 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.
  • What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Nissan Leaf? 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.
  • 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. 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 Leaf 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 Leaf brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Leaf 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.
  • Should my Leaf be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Leaf 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.

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 Leaf malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? If your Leaf 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.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Leaf serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your Leaf 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.

During the service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Nissan. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle.

Nissan Leaf Alignment Questions

  • How can I avoid knocking my Nissan Leaf out of alignment? Hitting a pothole or curb can alter your wheel alignment. So can general wear and tear over time.
  • How often does your Leaf need a wheel alignment?  Check your Leaf 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.
  • Does getting new Leaf tires mean you need an alignment?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Leaf, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

Get Your Nissan Leaf Tire Repaired

Nissan Leaf 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. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Leaf as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to 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 Leaf keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Leaf tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

  • 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.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Leaf’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Leaf 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.

2017 Leaf Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 2017 Nissan Leaf, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Leaf bounces, drifts 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 2017 Nissan Leaf, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Leaf suspension system needs repair, 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.

2017 Leaf Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What can cause my Nissan Leaf to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Leaf 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 Leaf front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your Leaf when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.

2017 Nissan Leaf A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 2017 Nissan Leaf A/C problems to the best of their ability. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Nissan Leaf’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2017 Nissan Leaf A/C system. We will also perform 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2017 Nissan Leaf A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Leaf 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? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Leaf’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my Leaf’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Leaf’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2017 Nissan Leaf 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 Leaf’s performance. Nissan Leaf transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Nissan Leaf transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your Leaf at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2017 Leaf up to Nissan-recommended standards. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your Leaf’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2017 Nissan Leaf Transmission Questions & Answers

  • Does my Leaf's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan Leaf 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 transmission fluid leak from my Nissan Leaf?  Yes. Nissan Leaf transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I drive my Nissan Leaf with a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Leaf 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.

2017 Nissan Leaf Inspections

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. The technician will begin by testing your Nissan Leaf's battery to determine how much charge remains. After we’ve inspected your Nissan Leaf’s battery, we’ll visually inspect your lights, windshield wipers, filters, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, and alignment.

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 Leaf 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 thorough manual inspection of your steering, suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. The goal of this type of inspection is to unearth significant issues that might require preventative maintenance.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to complete your vehicle’s safety tests or state inspection at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. These inspections are governed by state automotive laws and may vary in different locations.

Common 2017 Nissan Leaf Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • When does my Nissan Leaf need an inspection? 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 Leaf failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? Did your vehicle fail a recent state inspection test? We can help. Come in for a checkup and we’ll diagnose the issue.
  • When is the best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for my Nissan Leaf?  You should bring your Nissan Leaf 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.

2017 Nissan Leaf Radiator Service

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2017 Nissan Leaf is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Nissan recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Nissan Leaf cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. From the heater core to the radiator cap, your 2017 Nissan Leaf is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About Nissan Leaf 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 Leaf to overheat?  One of the main reasons your Nissan Leaf engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What can cause a Leaf radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? There could be air pockets in your Leaf’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
