friend!! Use an image hosting site (I use Photobucket) to post photos here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yeah alright, good point adamzan. I'll take a look. Can't beat that price. Hey friend, thanks. that's what I figured it was about. I'm new to pathfinders (not Nissan) and I'm very happy with my purchase. Yeah, I've seen the Subaru builds also. Another board, Ultimate Subaru Message Board (USMB), I've been on for years and years. I bought my wagon in 1995 from a used car lot in Denver, CO and have taken that wagon (stock) in all terrains except it can't do boulders and other things. No complaints with the my Subaru and I've done most of the work on it over the years ...well engineered. Yeah, the Peogeot steelies are the best really because the bolt pattern matches. And many drill other wheels, the hubs, or swap later model hubs. Have a good one!

Thanks, that's right I'll take a look at bringing it to a tire shop. I've never used a locking lug. I suppose I'll find out which type of lug nuts mine have and that's right it would be best to find one and even two additional Legos down the road. There are places in the desert where I have taken two spares (just in case) but never needed them and this was because the tires where road tires which I was using off-road (only ones available for my Subaru's 13 inch wheels). My 1985 Subaru GL: Most definitely will need another Lego wheel. Why are they called Legos BTW? Hope to not buy a tool but will see, thanks for the input. Interesting, I am quite sure that lug nut (and the others) has been on there 1992. If I had the extra money I would probably dump the Lego wheels and get 5 (or even six) basic solid wheels and tires to match. Mostly, I want function over form. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for adding the info. I'll take a look. I still haven't made a decision so one more desert trip and then I will have made up my mind. (I still have to get that locked lug nut off before and can remove the spare, ...if needed) But I now want to get all five tires instead of four. This way I can rotate them properly. I may need a different wheel than the factory spare wheel for the fifth tire? ...not sure yet. I'm searching the internet/ads hoping for some smokin deal but have not found one yet. Thanks again friend, Aaron

I can replace parts (known to be failing) most times unless they require special tools, lifts, etc. and I like to perform maintenance (lube, filters, hoses, etc) when I can because I'm more careful than the average mechanic in my opinion and from experience. A qualified mechanic should be able to hook up your Pathfinder and diagnose the problem(s). Then you can maybe "do it yourself" or have them. My advice would be seek advice from your neighbors, friends, family, about which shop in town is honest, fair, and knows Japanese autos. If your not able or going to work on it yourself then stick with the same shop. Let them sort it out and do the work. ...If you haven't, have them do the regular scheduled maintenance using quality fluids, filters, flushes, etc. also. This is my best advice. Good luck and hope it's a well done long term fix.

Good people here. Share photos when you can. Cheers!

Very nice buy with your Pathfinder. Keep us posted.

Thanks friend! I'll look into that maker some more. Interesting.

Thanks again for the help here. That information helps me understand this and I appreciate it. By the way, your tires are Goodyear Wrangler "Authority" not "Territory" correct? Searching, I found "Authority". They look like a tough tire and that is mostly what I need, ...tough. I off-road sometimes no-road in the deserts and drive over some pretty harsh stuff. Not so much snow or mud but whatever I get I want to do alright there too when needed. The Goodyears look strong similar to the more pricey BFGs. Take care and thanks! Aaron

Thanks for your feedback and information. How do the 31X10.5XR15, 235X75XR15, 215X75XR15 differ in size dimension? The discount tire store computers highlight the 235X75Xr15 and then add that 31X10.5XR15, 255X70XR15, and 265X70XR15 also are good fits. I am interested in a strong sidewall tire. Thanks.

I found a good thread here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/35327-need-new-tires-31x1050x15-recommendations/?hl=%2Btire+%2Bsizes&do=findComment&comment=660887

Looking at tire choices for my 1992 SE. I have and want to keep using the stock wheels plus the original spare steely on the rear tailgate. The four tires on now are Westlake 31X10.5XR15 LT from 2012 and the fronts are warn excessively (near bald) on the outer edges. The rear spare must be OE. It's a 215X75XR15 "Toyo Temporary Tire" with a DOT stamp NYK 232, which can only mean 23rd month of 1992 (and it still has nipples). My plan is to take one of my rear tires (tread is better than the fronts) and have it put on as the spare steely to replace the OE spare tire and buy four new tires. I don't want to cut fenders nor do I want rubbing from tires too large. I want economical and good off-road and good highway tires and the better the tire for the cost is important. 1) What size tires does everyone prefer, what brand, any internet deals (coupons) you know of? 2) And how do I remove that locking lug-nut holding the OE spare on safely without a key? Appreciate your thoughts ans advice, cheers. ...here are some photos: Recent trip: Wheels and tires on now:

I use a free photobucket account to create a library of photos, then you select the ones you want to post here, then select "link" and it copies the code(s). Then you "right click" on your post (here in NPORA) and "paste" then, those codes get posted. See my thread here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/42081-pathfinder-travels/ These are all from this process on Photobucket. Hope this helps, cheers
