Choosing 2012 Nissan Titan Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan Titan 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 for winter and one 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!

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

Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Nissan.

Questions About Nissan Titan Alignment

  • How can I avoid knocking my Nissan Titan out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How often should you get a wheel alignment for your Titan? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your Titan owner’s manual for Nissan's recommended interval.
  • Do you need to get your Titan wheels aligned?  You likely aren't required to get an alignment when you put new tires on your Titan, but it's a super smart idea!

Questions About 2012 Nissan Titan Engines

  • Why does my Titan’s check engine light come on when I start it? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Titan testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Are Nissan Titan engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Nissan Titan. 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.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Nissan Titan engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up.

Nissan Titan Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Nissan on a flat tire? 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 Titan as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Will a temporary sealant 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.
  • What is causing the tires on my Titan to keep losing air? Your Titan tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Nissan Titan to high mileage oil?  If your Nissan Titan 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!

2012 Nissan Titan Oil Change Service

Nissan recommends having your 2012 Nissan Titan’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Nissan-recommended oil change intervals, your Titan may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Nissan Titan. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Nissan Titan oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

2012 Nissan Titan Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan Titan to illuminate?  Your Nissan Titan oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan Titan oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan Titan spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  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.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2012 Nissan Titan

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

Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Nissan Titan mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Nissan Titan. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often do Nissan Titan fuel injectors need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Titan fuel injectors.

2012 Titan Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2012 Nissan Titan, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Titan jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Nissan Titan in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Questions About 2012 Nissan Titan Steering & Suspension

  • Why does my Nissan Titan bounce so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Titan 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 Titan tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Titan 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.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Titan's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Convenient & Local 2012 Nissan Titan A/C Service

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2012 Nissan Titan A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2012 Nissan Titan A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed.

2012 Nissan Titan A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my Titan A/C blowing hot 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.
  • 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 Titan's A/C system.
  • Why won’t my Titan’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  Damaged or worn components in your Titan’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2012 Nissan Titan Transmission Service

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Titan’s performance. Nissan Titan transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

Questions About 2012 Nissan Titan’s Transmission

  • Does my Titan's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan Titan 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Nissan Titan?  Yes. Nissan Titan 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 Titan 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 Titan to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
