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.

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?

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.

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

viberation or shimmying by hess5

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

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.

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.

Rusted Rims by roguer1

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.
