Tires opinion needed!
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 11:58 pm
Good Day to you guys!
I'm a former "Newbie" position in this club but after the website crash incident. I didn't get to join on a trip since then due to tight schedule. Anyway I made this thread to ask for opinions on the tires that I could replace on my car. This thread though can go to anyone and it will be highly appreciated! :045:
So here's the story, got a Michelin "Cross terrain" 275/70/17 above a year ago. But it appears to have some of cracks, some are deep and most are like those wore out tires. I assumed this is maybe from deflating and inflating(?) and maybe from hitting the curves of the sidewalks. :023: So we decided to replace the tires, and this is where we need some opinions to settle our minds. Searched the forum for some other opinion, but its either FJs, Jeeps, Pajeros. So I made this for Nissan lovers. :011:
-------------
Car : Nissan Patrol VTC 4.8 (LWB)
Current : 275/70/17 Michelin "Cross Terrain"
Modifications : Will it make a difference if the car has some?
-------------
Initial Plans:
Rim size: 16 Inch
All Terrains
- BF Goodrich AT
- Yokohama Geolander AT-S
- Cooper Discoverer AT3
Highway Terrains
- Cooper Discoverer HT
That's all i can think of for HT
Suggestions are Open, please do suggest any on your mind.
------
So here are the questions:
That's all I can think of at the moments! Thanks in Advance!

So here are the questions:
- I am not entirely sure but I heard that AT kind of tires is a not recommended for heavy weight car, which is of course this Patrol?
- I also have plans on increasing the size of it, 32 inch or wider? If ever will i ever need to regear my rack and pinions or this only apply for the Jeeps?
That's all I can think of at the moments! Thanks in Advance!
