Toyo Tires in Ottawa, ON | 3 DAY SALE BEGINS!

By James | Posted in Dealer Information, Parts, Service, Specials on Thursday, April 12th, 2012 at 11:34 AM

They’ve been setting up for a few hours now and the sale is already underway.  I dropped in and asked Aaron Brown, Director of Fixed Operations if he had any comments he’d like to add for today’s kickoff.  He had the following to say.

The warehouse is PACKED.  Every tire that Toyo makes is in there, in every size, and we’ve go bays open and ready in (the service center) so we can provide immediate install for the customers.  We’ve got a good selection of wheels and rims in stock as well, but that supply is obviously more limited, so the first day is always the best day to drop by if you’re looking for your optimal selection for a tire+rim package.”

When asked about what he expects to be the top seller this year?

Well, that’s gotta be the Toyo Extensa (see below for some specs on the Extensa).  Great tire, really popular and strong for the price point.  Also nice that we have them in both All-Season and High Performance versions, all of them in stock, and in all sizes.  Expect to see those flying out the doors for sure.”

Anything else, Aaron?

Keep an eye out for the giant Toyo tire, you should be able to see it from the highway!  We’re open until 8-9pm tonight, so drop by after work if you can’t make it in today during the day.”

Specs on the Toyo Extensa A/S (All-Season): 

Extensa A-S

Passenger Cars / All Season

The all-new Extensa A/S delivers exceptional versatility and value for a wide range of passenger cars and minivans. With an extended tread life, precise all-season handling, M&S rating, and a comfortable ride, Extensa A/S means extra confidence.

  • Symmetric, Non-Directional Tread Design – Enables cross rotation to reduce irregular wear and Improves all-season traction and tire life.

2013 Altima Unveiled at New York Auto Show

By Caitie | Posted in Dealer Information, New Nissan on Thursday, April 5th, 2012 at 5:35 PM

 

Introducing the 2013 Nissan Altima 417-Nissan-2013-nissan-altima

 

Introduced 2 decades ago, the Nissan Altima has always been a top contender in it’s class. Now, I know we showed you a sneak peak a few weeks back. But really that was just the tip of the iceberg for this new & improved mid-sized sedan. The real show was at the New York Auto Show. Introduced by a deep voice to a silent crowd, the 2013 Altima cruised onto the stage in utter elegance. The crowd stayed silent while the host announced all the new & exciting attributes to this beautiful sedan.

417-Nissan-2013-nissan-altima-

 

Highlighted New Features Include:

-Premium exterior styling with a powerful presence and improved  aerodynamics.

-Upscale interior rivaling premium luxury sedans, including NASA-inspired “zero-gravity” seats, an Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display and BOSE® Premium Audio System.

-Next-generation Safety Shield Technologies, including Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Moving Object Detection (MOD) systems.

 

Presented in two models, One with a 2.5-liter inline-four engine and the other a 3.5-liter V6 which is probably the only thing that hasn’t changed about the new 2012 Altima. The biggest news is the CVT has been changed drastically, which we discussed in your sneak peak post. The transmission will be much smoother in the new Altima with revised gear ratio. Spread out to allow the new sedan to win in the fuel economy class. Your Nissan Store is extremely excited about this unveil & cannot wait to have the 2013 Altima in the showroom.

“The team behind the development of the new fifth generation Altima didn’t stop with the major components and systems – they also made numerous, almost imperceptible enhancements to nearly every aspect of the driving experience.”

Tire Tips with Toyo Tires @ 417 Nissan

By Caitie | Posted in Parts, Service, Specials on Monday, March 26th, 2012 at 3:21 PM

Tire Tips with Toyo Tires

Hydroplaning

3 things to know about HydroplaningTire Sale at 417 Nissan, Ottawa ON

  1. Vehicle Speed: The faster you go, the less wet traction your vehicle has.
  2. Water Depth: The deeper the water, the easier it is to lose traction
  3. Tire Tread Depth can be a major culprit in Hydroplaning accidents. The more worn out the tire is the easier it is to lose traction and control.
If you are driving in wet conditions make sure to check your tire tread. Always consider the speed of others around you in these conditions as well. If you are uncertain if your tires are up to standards to handle driving in wet conditions, you know where to go! 417 Nissan in Ottawa,ON has a brand new set of tires ready and waiting for you!

 

Ice & Snow Conditions

All-Season Tires provide higher snow traction than those tires that are not. However there are still a few things to keep in mind while driving in those snowy conditions.
  1. Always keep your distance. Toyo recommends at least 12 times more stopping distance on winter roads.
  2. Reduce your speed. Even if the roads look bare, black ice can be a silent killer.
  3. Make sure the tread is in good shape on your tires. The more worn the less grip provided.

Poor All-Season Tires or no AST’s at all can be extremely dangerous int eh winter conditions we experience here around Ottawa,ON. With the high amounts of freeze & thaw we experience here through our Autumn,Winter & Spring months, Make sure you are equipped with the right set of tires.

 

Tire Damage & Excessive WearTire Sale at 417 Nissan, Ottawa ON

Regular Tire Rotation, Balance, Alignment & Inspection’s should always take place during your service appointments. To insure your tires are getting their proper use. All these check-ups and happen at a regular service appointment. If your tires are looking a little worn, your service advisor will be happy to let you know & recommend something new & more efficient for you and your vehicle.  At 417 Nissan we have certified technicians ready to install your tires! Not having your tires installed properly can affect the life span and the quality you are getting from your tires.

  • Tire Rotation: To achieve more uniform wear for all tires on a vehicle.
  • Balance: Placed on your rim, these weights help the tire stay balanced at all speeds. Unbalanced tires can generate strong vibrations and create irregular tread-wear.
  • Alignment: Improper alignment can cause extreme irregular tread-wear to your tires. For maximum life your tire alignment is super crucial.
  • Inspection: This is when your technician checks to make sure your tires are in good shape for the road. And when Repair or Replace can come into play.

 

 

Spring has sprung here at 417 Nissan and we certainly are ready for it! It’s always an exciting time around the dealership here in Ottawa, ON. New cars, new promotions and lots of happy customers!

Sneak Peak: 2013 Nissan Altima

By Caitie | Posted in New Nissan on Monday, March 19th, 2012 at 5:48 PM

 

417 Nissan 2013 Nissan Altima Sneak Peak

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Nissan Altima has always been a favorite. A classic Nissan Sedan with classic Nissan style. The new 2013 Nissan Altima has popped up on the Internet and we are here to get the sneak peak information to YOU! We are all pretty excited to see this new beauty in real life, hitting the streets. But for now we can give you a good glimpse at what is in store for the new Altima Redesign. Let’s just say it’s time for the Nissan Altima to undergo this transformation. Traditionally sporting a bulkier design the new 2013 Altima Sedan sports a curvier exterior. Although we haven’t gotten to see much of the new Nissan Altima, we can definitely tell the redesign will be a modern take on the former Nissan Altima.The Altima Redesign will resemble many of the other Nissan and sister company Infinti’s current line-up. We aren’t expecting much to change with the power behind the new Nissan Altima Sedan, however there may likely be a hybrid in the works.

Performance Update

2013 Nissan Altima CVT

While the competition has undergone some serious overhaul, the Nissan Altima has remained the same since 2007. Focusing on performance, Toyota implemented Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) in their Camry XLE Hybrid in their 2012 model. Basically, CVT was a Di Vinci concept and is replacing  many automatic transmissions in vehicles. Unlike a traditional Auto Transmission, CVT operates via a pulley system rather than a gearbox with a number of gears. The pulley system allows for infinite variability between highest & lowest gear with no discrete steps or shifts. The 2013 Nissan Altima is stepping up to it’s competition and implementing a new-generation of CVT as part of the redesign. This feature will offer 40% less friction than the current model.

 

417 Nissan 2013 Nissan Altima Sneak Peak

 

 

 

Rumor has it that the hybrid version will also pack a supercharged 2.5-lite 4-cylinder,electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack. Pricing will be in comparison to the current price just over $20,000. Stay tuned for more information on this amazing Altima Redesign!
