Changing your Nissan tires before the winter hits is essential, especially if you’re expecting heavy snow. These tires provide better grip in snowy and icy conditions and can prevent loss of traction. Learn how to choose the right winter tires for your vehicle at Bedford Nissan. more Find the Right Size Like cars, tires come in all shapes and sizes. Your Nissan model will be fitted for a specific size and style of tire; installing another size will result in an improper fit. Check your owner’s manual for the exact tire size specifications. You can also find this information inside the driver’s side door. Finding Winter Tires The next step is finding the winter Nissan tires that fit your vehicle. These tires are also referred to as snow tires; you may hear both terms interchangeably. You can order Nissan winter tires on our website, or you can visit our service center to discuss your options with our technicians. It’s important to note that winter tires provide the best traction on slippery roads caused by snow and ice. While other high-grip tires, such as performance tires or mud tires, might provide some increased traction on snow or ice, they’re no substitute for genuine winter tires. Studded vs. Studless Tires Depending on the tire, you’ll find some winter tires with studs installed and some without. Both are suitable for snow, but if you want targeted performance against the elements, it helps to know the difference. Studded tires perform best with built-up ice and packed snow, as the studs provide better penetration into the frozen surface.

Applying for a Nissan finance plan doesn’t have to be stressful. Our dealership can help you every step of the way, including helping you coordinate a co-signer for your car loan. As part of our Nissan Finance Tips series, Bedford Nissan answers the question: Should I get a co-signer for my car loan? more What Is a Co-Signer? A co-signer is a person who will assume payments on your loan if you don’t meet them yourself. Usually, a co-signer is a family member or close friend; they agree to take on your debt in the case of an emergency. Why Would I Need a Co-Signer? In cases where your credit score is low, a co-signer improves your chances of getting Nissan financing. A co-signer provides more assurance for a financial institution that the loan will be repaid. Even if you don’t require a co-signer to secure a finance offer, you can still add one for added financial protection. This will also help you secure better terms if you want more flexibility. Who Should My Co-Signer Be? Your co-signer should be someone who you trust financially; ideally, it’s someone you’re close to. A relative or lifelong friend is the most common option. Remember that they need to agree to become your co-signer; you can’t sign for them. Financers like to see co-signers with good financial standing and credit history. If they’ve paid off an auto loan before, that’s even better. Explore Nissan Finance Options in Bedford, OH Whether you bring in a co-signer or not, we can help you find the best Nissan finance terms available. Contact the Bedford Nissan finance team today to ask about financing terms and whether a co-signer is right for you.

Have you visited our dealership for Nissan service recently? As the autumn months come around, you must get your vehicle ready for the cooler temperatures and changing weather. Bedford Nissan recommends servicing your car to prepare for these five fall driving hazards. more School Traffic Come September, kids will be back in school — which means slowing down and stopping around school zones. Make sure your brakes are in good condition before the semester starts. Darkness The sun sets earlier in the day during the fall. Thus, you’ll want to fix any problems with your car’s lights at the beginning of the season if you’re driving at night. Wet Roads Autumn often brings rainy weather, making the roads slicker than usual. It’s best to check your tires for any signs of wear and tear and replace them if the tire tread depth is too low. You should also check air pressure occasionally, as cooler temperatures mean tire pressure may decrease more rapidly. Leaves When leaves have piled up on the road, your tires aren’t able to contact the road as effectively. That can be a problem if your brakes or tires malfunction. To avoid any stopping problems, have your brakes and tires serviced before autumn hits. Frost It can get very chilly during the fall months; as such, you might have to deal with frosted windows. Before autumn gets into full swing, you should make sure your heating system is ready to go. This includes both the internal air conditioner and the defrosters.
