I have noticed the Rogue's have two different OE tires Dunlop & Continental's, what are some opinions from owners.
Thanks

We have Continentals on our Rogue and I haven't been impressed with them. They seem to transmit more road noise than new tires should. On one particular stretch of freeway, the lanes had been shifted, and the previous striping (which had been burned/scraped off) was exactly where the tires would normally track when the car is centered in the lane. When driving on that section, it seemed like the tires actually amplified that particular noise frequency. I'm sure we will be talking to our tire guy and changing them out to another brand when the initial set wear down.

I'll have to ck which tires I have. I notice too much road noise at highway speeds and certain surfaces. More than any car I've ever owned. I have the P225/60R17 low profile tires which I really didn't want but, they came with the model package.
If anybody does a tire swap to another brand and it quiets down noticable please post your results.
thanks, Ron

.....I cked, mine are the Continentals too. I found that the dealer had too much air pressure in them and brought them back down to 33 psi, it made a difference, also just putting a few miles on them made a difference too. I've only got 120miles on the Rogue so I suspect with a few more miles they will wear in a little more and get a little bit quieter. The Rogue doesn't seem so bad as the first drive home from the dealer. I was coming from a Sienna mini van, which if you ever drove one you would know they are a marsh mellow soft and quiet ride.
I'm pretty fussy and hard to please with cars [and other things]. I bought the Rogue for my wife but, I find the more I drive it the more I love it! I want to trade my pickup in for one now!

I purchased my rogue the beginning of November. With 5,000 miles on my car, I picked up a screw which embedded itself in the side wall. Drat! That ended the life of the tire. As if that wasn't so bad, consider this....there wasn't another tire for this car anywhere in the area. (South Boston area). My husband and I searched every major tire company and when we couldn't find a replacement tire, I promptly returned to the dealer. They declared it wasn't their fault but I insisted that it certainly was. The net result was the dealership paid for a rental for 7 days until they could ship in one tire from "who knows where"! Even similar new rogue vehicles in the lot were no match (we all figured that the best thing was to take a tire off a new car, put the spare on that and then worry about that tire being replaced thereby giving me immediate access back to my car). The next shock was the sticker price of the tire.....ONE tire cost me $280 !!! The dealership probably paid somewhere over $400 for the rental --- ONE EXPENSIVE TIRE!
BYW, I have the continental tires. I find no appreciable difference between any other riding tire.

Hi Fellow Rogue owners. Well, I'm actually NOT a Rogue owner, yet, and am looking for some info on tires/rims. I'm probably going to order the Rogue tomorrow and my only complaint is the dreadful rims and large empty wheel wells. Is there a replacement tire that fills the well better, or just plain looks less... cheap... than the standard ones? I'm thinking of at least chroming the standard rims, but it might be cheaper to buy new cherome rims, and would love to hear anyone's experience there. Please hurry!! =}

I just bought a Rogue AWD SL that was equipped with Contis. I paid the dealer $50 extra to give me a set of Dunloops from another Rogue on the lot. At present it seems that many more Rogues are coming with the Contis but I have always had good luck with Dunlops and liked the more open aggressive tread pattern on the Dunlop. It should be better in bad weather. It seems like a quiet riding good handling tire, so far.

tire pressure monitor- does yours work ?

The tire pressure monitor on my new Rogue has been on constantly since shortly after I took delivery. Tire pressure is 36 lb in each tire which is 3 lb more than the sticker on the doorframe recommends.
What does it take to get this thing to turn off ? My son has a new Maxima and had the same problem. The dealer offered to 'fix' it by filling the tires with nitrogen (for $20). That tells me not to take this car to the dealer for service but doesn't solve the problem. I'd just turn the thing off if I knew what wire to cut.
Anyone else had a problem with the tire pressure monitor?
