Choosing 2023 Nissan Maxima Tires

Other than getting the proper 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. 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. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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.

Answers to Nissan Maxima Alignment Questions

  • How often does your Maxima need a wheel alignment? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Maxima owner’s manual for Nissan's recommended interval.

Engine Q&A 2023 Nissan Maxima

  • Why does the check engine light in my Maxima turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Maxima testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my Nissan engine sound different?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Nissan Maxima 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 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.

Get Your Nissan Maxima Tire Repaired

If your 2023 Nissan Maxima is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. Our tire technicians can determine whether it's safe to plug and patch the tire, or whether it needs to be replaced. To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.

If we determine that your 2023 Nissan Maxima tire can be safely repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.

Your Questions About Nissan Maxima Tire Repair, Answered

  • What happens if I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Maxima engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Nissan's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • Why do the tires on my Maxima keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Maxima tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.

  • How long do car batteries last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Maxima’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Maxima car battery terminals is called corrosion.

2023 Nissan Maxima Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Nissan Maxima spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

2023 Maxima Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 2023 Nissan Maxima, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Maxima feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2023 Nissan Maxima in for steering and suspension repairs.

2023 Nissan Maxima Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Nissan Maxima to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Maxima's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Maxima's steering and 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.

  • What causes A/C system leaks?  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 Maxima's A/C system.
  • What is causing my Maxima’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Maxima is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
