WaarrEagle Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I need to replace a set of tires on a 2001 Pathfinder. I know the stock size is 255/65 but can you go a size wider? I know people do that frequently with car tires but I wasn't sure about SUV's. Also, does anyone have any good tire recommendations? Its not 4x4 so I just need a good highway tire. The tires on there now are Yoko Geolanders and I have been pretty happy with them. Edited April 17, 2007 by WaarrEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If you never plan on taking it off-road more than a simple dirt track, look at the Michelin LTX M/S tires. They're slightly more expensive than the other tires in the class, but they've been known to last 120,000 miles or more, and have a highly regarded track record. Check out the reviews for them on Tire Rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Michelin's are $140 each at Sam's Club. They ride like a dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrnMchn Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 My dad has the Michelin LTX M/S on his LX470 and they ride very nice and last forever and still have great traction. He has had a few sets on Land Cruisers and those tires are a cut above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah, they're what I'm going to run for street, in a 235/85R16 (that's 32x9.3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
