Replying to: pitkeys (Jun 10, 2008 8:15 am) I know your post on edmunds is over one year old but I am having a problem with shimming between 15-21 miles per hour. 08 rogue with 28k. I bought it a month ago and it had new tires. I have had them balanced and rotated twice to see if one is out of round or have a bent rim but they say no. The nisson dealer says that is the way the cvt tranm. is. Do you think it might be the tires on it, they came from tire kindom. Did you have this problem? If so what tires did you put on. Harry
#20 of 28 Tire Shake 08 Rouge by rkoko164 Jul 26, 2009 (6:15 am)
You might have a problem if it already has new tires at 28k miles. I have 28k miles on our 08 Rouge and the original tires still look like new. No shimmying or shakes at any speeds. Depending on the cars options it had 2 tire sizes from the factory, ours has the larger rims w/the low profile tires [don't remember the size w/out looking].   Good Luck, Ron

Thanks Ron, I bought it with 27k on it and new sumitomo touring lst tires, size 225/60R17 as per book. I think I will take it to a new nisson place and see what they say.. Its a loaded rogue with leather, sun roof, boise system, paddle shifters, etc..Drive nice except the 15-22 mph speed. It was a repo-and the dealer who sold it to me does not know the past history.

Replying to: pitkeys (Jun 10, 2008 8:15 am) pitkeys, now that it's been 1+ year on those Avids, what is your experience? Also, what model Avid did you get?   Anyone else replace their Contis? Replies to this message: pitkeys (Aug 20, 2009 11:40 am) asur (Aug 24, 2009 8:29 am)

Replying to: asur (Aug 17, 2009 8:27 pm) >   Avid TRZ 225-60 17.   10,500 miles on them, not much wear. Fine wet traction and OK (within limits) on wet snow and light ice. So far they seem to be a fine tire: Much better wear than the OEM Conti Contacts, and MUCH better traction, braking and cornering. Also much quieter on the highway.   HTH Replies to this message: asur (Aug 24, 2009 8:29 am)

Replying to: pitkeys (Jun 10, 2008 8:15 am) You say the cvt tranm.vibration is less noticable with the diff. tires? Can you please explain? I have the vibration between 15-20 mph. Harry
#25 of 28 viberation or shimmying by hess5 Aug 22, 2009 (7:23 am)
Between 15-=20 mph slight veberation or shimmying. Dealer (2) of them says that is the cvt tranm., they say that most people do not notice it or either drive throught it. In other words if my speed creaps up to ten and I then push the pedal through to twenty I will not notice the shimmying. Only when I stay in that range do I notice it. I have emailed nisson to see what they say. Just finished a 1,500 mile trip and got 27 mpg, love this car except the above problem. Harry Replies to this message: asur (Aug 24, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: pitkeys (Aug 20, 2009 11:40 am) Thanks for the report, pitkeys. What you're finding seems in line w/ what I've read.   I'm not a fan of the Conti Contacts--not a lot of tread out of the box--but they've worn ok. Granted, I rotate them regularly and make sure inflation is good, and drive pretty conservatively. I've got over 46K on them and I think they're good for a few more months, maybe even til the snow flies.

Replying to: hess5 (Aug 22, 2009 7:23 am) Hess, I have no such vibration from my cvt. However, the speed range 10-20 is problemmatic for this trans, in that whatever gearing ratios they chose make for a big drop in power right then. So when it shifts at 10 or 15, it feels like you let off the gas. To make up for it you have to gas it a bit, especially if you're merging into high-speed stuff.
#28 of 28 Rusted Rims by roguer1 Aug 27, 2009 (2:03 pm)
Has anyone else experienced rusting steel rims on a 2008 Rogue S? Nissan is refusing to replace saying it's not a warranty issue, but they will "paint" them, so something must be up.
