#100 of 109 Re: Snow tires on a '04 [carzzz] by exploder750 Oct 30, 2007 (11:19 am)
Replying to: carzzz (Oct 29, 2007 3:58 pm) carzzz, what people have been generally using for the '04+ Quest is 235-60-16 for a suitable replacement.   On our '04, I run no TPMS for the snow tires and the monitor shows nothing but ** for each tire pressure. No need to disable anything. Replies to this message: calvin1962 (Oct 30, 2007 4:05 pm) carzzz (Oct 30, 2007 6:53 pm) dtownfb (Nov 03, 2007 5:36 pm)

Replying to: exploder750 (Oct 30, 2007 11:19 am) I ran 235-60-16 on a set of alloy chryser wheels I bought for $75 last winter. I think they came off an Avenger. NO TPM's and like exploder said just a bunch of ***. It is really nice not having to swap tires & wheels at $50 a whack.

Replying to: exploder750 (Oct 30, 2007 11:19 am) Thank you! I have heard that narrower tires have better traction during snow, and also see tirerack recommended size 215/70R16. I am going to try narrower tires. It should do a lot better then OEM. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Nov 03, 2007 5:36 pm)

Replying to: carzzz (Oct 30, 2007 6:53 pm) Be very careful going with that size tire on the Quest. You will change the driving characteristics of the van. If you need better traction in the snow, get dedicated snow tires.
#104 of 109 Michelin HydroEdge by vinhphuc Nov 07, 2007 (10:15 am)
Hi,   I'm looking into new tires to replace my Quest OEM Goodyear Eagle LS2. It looks like the Yokohama Avid TRZ is very popular because it's now backordered everywhere I look. I'm now considering the Michelin HydroEdge. Does anyone on this forum have experience with them? I greatly appreciate any input. Replies to this message: vinhphuc (Nov 28, 2007 8:16 pm)

Replying to: vinhphuc (Nov 07, 2007 10:15 am) I didn't get any reply since my last post. It seems like there is not a lot of activity on this forum. Either that or no Quest owner has put the Michelin HydroEdge on his van. Anyway here's some update. I got 4 HydroEdge (225/60R17) from TireRack and got them the next day. I had them installed at a shop in my area (Rockville, MD) as listed on the TireRack website for ~$200 (mount, balance, alignment, and TPMS swap). Since then I put ~500 miles on these new tires. So far so good and they seem quieter than the OEM although I didn't have any serious complaint with the OEM except for their fast wearing (I had to change them at 24K). I guess I'll know more about the Michelin HydroEdge as more rainy and worse weather days are to come.
#106 of 109 225/60/17 98H - Quest SE by famof3kids Jan 21, 2008 (8:21 am)
The original Eagle LS2's wore out in 20k miles. I replaced those with the Goodyear ComforTred. These had an 80k mile warranty, but, now are worn out at 55k miles. I'm hoping for a pro-rated refund from Goodyear since I have all documentation, etc. So, now what to buy....there seems to be many more options than a few years ago. I'm looking at the Michelin Energy LX4 (always had good luck with Michelin in the past) and the Firestone FR710. I've also got a quote for the Yokohama TRZ. All of the prices are in the ball park of $500-$550. Anyone have any experiences with these brands or suggestions?   Thanks, Mark 2004 Nissan Quest SE Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jan 21, 2008 10:59 am)

#108 of 109 Take a look at Michelin HydroEdge by vinhphuc Jan 29, 2008 (10:39 am)
Hi,   Don't know if you made up your mind about which new tires to buy yet. If not, take a look at the Michelin HydroEdge. I replaced the OEM tires at 24K, and have put ~2K on the HydroEdge since then. I went through a few big rains, and 2 snows without any problems. Tires are very quiet, gave excellent grip in wet conditions. I didn't experience the noise problems as reported by some owners on TireRack website. I'll give an update a bit later this winter.   Good luck, Phuc
#109 of 109 Need HELP and advise ASAP by tjshan Apr 18, 2008 (6:26 pm)
OK guys, need some help and direction here , quickly please.   Here is the story, we have a 2006 quest with 24K miles. We have constantly battled a vibration problem, mostly brakes. We have been through 3 sets of new rotors and two turn downs, as well as countless (5-6?) 4 wheel balances. most recently we brought the car in for brake vibration and steering vibration again last month, the dealer rebalenced again and found no vibration in the brakes, take the car, on the way home I find the vibrations back...keep in mind this is only at highway speed and comes and goes, slight but feelable. OK, bring car back, go for ride with tecky and sure enough he feels it, OK two days later they replace another set of rotors and rebalence...go back to pickup car and as soon as I turn on the highway I feel it...this time not in the wheel or brakes, but a whole car vibration, turn around and bring it back...it was by then 6pm and no techs around but they will get to it...OK here is where I need the help   the dealer calls today (Fri) and says they rebalenced the wheels and went for another ride and do not find a steering or brake vibration (as expected) the service maneger says he took it out himnself and does not feel an appreciable vibration, but attributes what little one there is to the back wheels being "chopped" on the inside tread. He insist there is no reason to replace the tires, the chopping he says will not get any worse as long as we keep the tires inflated and balenced properly. By the way, the tires have been rotated according to the recommended schedule. here is my question, why did they chop, there is plenty of tread, i would estimate 30-40K miles left on the original tires. Why do i see so many on this list replacing their tires at 20 or 30K miles?   The manager is not in Sat so i am going to wait untill Monday to pick it up, even though he says there is nothing more they can do!? It means holding on to the loaner for another day but If they balk I will pay the extra days rental if need be...   Whats the treadwear warrenty on the oem tires (goodyear 16" not sure of size cause I dont have the car) is it viable to expect goodyear to step in here? It seems rediculiouse that tires would go bad at 24K miles, even though there is plenty of tread.   Please help here, I know there have been brake issues with the quest, but can they be attributed to the tires?   Tom 06 quest SE
