Replying to: nmt001 (Aug 12, 2007 2:32 pm) When buying a car, the dealership should make sure that the car is delivered with the tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Now, if you are going to travel in hot weather, with a full load and at sustained speeds of 70 mph or higher, by all means increase the tire pressure to at least 36 PSI. The higher the pressure, the higher load the tire can carry (do not exceed maximum pressure as printed on the tire sidewall).

On my previous Sentra, an '01 XE, I switched from the factory Dunlop's to Yokohama Avid Touring's and couldn't have been happier. The Dunlops were toast in 24k miles, the Yoko's had 50-60k when my wife totaled the car, and they were still in great shape. The Yoko's also came with an 80k mile tread life, but still would drive circles around the stock tires. When my '07 needs tires I hope to find something like that set of Yoko's to put on. They are recommended without reservation. A previous post had someone stating that Bridgestone tires were made by Firestone. The opposite is true, Bridgestone is/was the parent company, and Firestone was one of it's major divisions. As to the quality of Firestone tires, I worked in the auto industry as the time of the Firestone recall. The tires that were actually affected by the recall was not a huge number. Firestone did however recall ALL of the tires in that model. I had in fact owned a vehicle with those tires equipped the Radial ATX. They were good tires, and I wouldn't worry one bit about owning another set of Firestones again. They still make great tires. The problem with that situation (the Explorer rollover problem) was partially Firestone, partially Ford, and a lot of the comsumer. Many people were buying SUV's for the first time and they were driving them like they were cars. You can't do that with a vehicle with that high of a center of gravity. To lower the C/G Ford engineering decided to lower the tire air pressure from 32 to 26 psi. This is adequate if the air pressures are maintained properly. Most people don't do this, and can easily on a tire that size be 5-10lbs low on air before they notice. That could potentially put the air pressure at 15-20psi which is way too low. This caused too much heat to be generated, and that leads to premature failure. Ford blamed Firestone, Firestone blamed Ford, but noone blamed the driver for not maintaining the air pressure. The bad PR was everywhere.

| I'll keep looking but wonder if I'm in the right place for 07 SE-R aftermarket support news. Love it and looking to play with it. | |

Replying to: txn_egl_sct (Oct 17, 2007 2:33 pm) I'm considering a snow tire because I have to drive about 50 miles round trip to work everyday. Also, I'd like to make these tires last through next summer. I'm at 21,000 miles and not too pleased with wear so far.
