1985 Nissan Maxima Service, Tires & Repairs

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Maxima 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 for winter and one for summer. 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!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Nissan Maxima tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

We sell tires, but we also service them and care for all the around-the-wheel components. We're your one-stop shop for tire installation, rotation, and ongoing maintenance! Shop 1985 Nissan Maxima tires online and schedule an installation appointment.
