    Gas Mileage Differance With Upsized Tires

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I went from 29s to 31s as well. Same with mzxtreme, I lost the same amount of miles to the gallon, but it was expected. My speedo actually became more accuate. With the 29s at 65+ MPH, the speedo would read ~ 3-5MPH more than the actual. Ex. Speed 60MPH, Speedo 64MPH. As I go faster, the difference becomes a little more greater. Haha, I used to like it. Gave me the feeling that my rig can haul a__.

    shaky steering and uneven tire wear???

    Just resurecting this thread once more....

     

    My pathy sort of drifts to the right. When I release the steering wheel, it sort of slights to the right a little which causes it to drift in that direction. I assumed it needed an alignment (which I found out I was right) but that didn't fix anything. Wheel still shakes at certain speeds, and still slants to the rights like before.. I had a bad toe-in / \ which was fixed.

     

    mzxtreme:

    i am having some issues there right now too but check the idler arm, center link, tie rod ends, and ball joints to make sure they are in good condition.. then maybe an allignement... also check balance and tire pressure..

     

    k9sar:

    if both are wearing to the inside, you have a toe-out problem. Alignmen should fix it. I would also check the camber on the heavily worn tire. Sounds like that is out on one side. This can be caused by a broken or sagging spring (measure ride height on both sides), a bent strut or spindle, a mislocated strut tower or engine cradle, a collapsed control arm bushing or a bent control arm.

     

    I should probably give these things a look at as well. Does anyone else have a clue?

    I use Kenwood. Love it. I want to get another one, just need an excuse. :) Stay away from motorized faceplates.. I have one that just flips down... (Removable. Since they're all either motorized/removable. Hard to find a nice one without the useless feature.) I just can't imagine how it would be to be stuck with the same CD when the motor goes out.
