What tires are best for a 2008 Nissan Maxima? Check out the following tire brands and types.
Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Maxima tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy 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 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. Browse Nissan Maxima tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
