#70 of 109 Tire pressure monitor and winter tires by vinhphuc Nov 04, 2006 (8:18 am)
Hi, I have a Quest 05 SE model. Today I have 2 questions and wonder if anyone can give me some tips. First how does one turn off the "low tire pressure" signal on the dashboard? This morning it turned "on" as I took my van to change oil. I asked the mechanic to check them and put more air if needed. He did but somehow the signal was still displayed. Second, what winter tires to put on? My OEM tires are P225/60R17. If someone can suggest a few choices, 2-3, I'd appreciate it very much. Also what about the tire pressure sensor in the OEM tire stem. What happens to them when you change to a new set of tires? Can they be transferred? This seems to be a naive question and I apologize in advance Thanks, Phuc Replies to this message: dtownfb (Nov 04, 2006 1:46 pm)

Replying to: vinhphuc (Nov 04, 2006 8:18 am) YOu need to add air to your tires. I've found that mine goes off on very cold days if I haven't checked the air in my tires in a while. The recommended air pressure is 35 psi. The TPMS seems to read 3 psi low. If you have 30 psi in your tires, the TPMS reads 27 psi and will trigger the alert. It normally takes an on0off cycle to clear.   When you change tires, let the instller know you have the sensors on your tires. You shouldn't have a problem since most new cars have this sensors and shops are training their installers on the correct installation.   For snow tires, I would check Tire Rack.

I picked up som non factory wheels to mount winter tires on for my 04 Quest. I found some used 17" wheels and bought a set of Michelin X-Ice from Tire Rack. Does anyone have experience on usingt the Tire pressure sensors on non factory wheels? If they will worl I found a set at an on line Nissan parts store fr $53 a piece I will buy.   All this because I cand disble the system and run snows without the contant warning!   Thanks, Replies to this message: garandman (Nov 22, 2006 10:26 am) dtownfb (Nov 22, 2006 12:25 pm)

#75 of 109 changing size of tire to 235/60/16 by cirruss Dec 20, 2006 (9:07 pm)
On my 04 Nissan Quest SL, I replaced the crappy Badyear tires with 235/60/16 Toyo Proxes TPT tires in March. These are actually directional performance tires but they drive great. I use to have vibration at 70-80mph, but the new tires eliminated most of it. The OEM tires got replaced at 28k and that's another reason why I would never use those Badyear tires again.
