Different Clutch Engagement After Tire Change

I agree with spohn, coils have nothing to do with it. make sure you're topped off on fluid and look for leaks around your master and slave cylinder, and/or bleed the system.

Unfortunately, Porterfield Tire in Athens, GA is big tire shop, and they were slammed on Saturday morning when I got there. So I had a friend of mine pick me up while they swapped my tires. Customers are not allowed to go into the install bays, and they are not clearly visible from the waiting area. I would not have been able to watch even if I would have been there. But, I did have the same idea initially too............

But start with bleeding the clutch then go from there. You still under warrenty so no worries.

Thanks Spohn, that is fantastic news! This is exactly what I was thinking too. Would the increased tire size or lowered suspension void my factory warranty though? I bought the car from Sutherlin Nissan near the Mall of GA, and everyone there is crooked in my opinion. Any trustworthy Nissan dealerships that you would recommend since you are in Ga too?
