| Has anyone considered putting 24'' on their Murano? B/c I was told that I could when I was home in Savannah, Ga. Jsut woundering if anyone had some input! |

I saw one on Car Domain.
Anything over 22" on a Murano makes no sense to me. |

Anything over stock makes no sense to me, but then that must mean I'm a boring person... :p |

Do you even put air in those skins?!?
That is ridiculous. Is someone really that desperate for attention that they would substitute comfort and safety for looks?

| Say bye bye to your smooth ride if you go anything larger than stock. If you guys prefer looks over comfort, go for it. |

Not quite true. 22s are comparable to stock. It's only when the suspension is lowered... that's when the ride become harsh. |

No, that's not true. Sidewalls, especially on radial tires, are designed to absorb impact from the road. The lower the sidewall. the less volume is available to absorb impact. All things being equal, hitting a pothole with "65" tires is more jarring than with "70"-series tires. Hitting that same pothole with "30"-series skins will be relatively bone-jarring.

My mo has worn 18s, 20s and 22s with stock and lowered suspension. I'm talking from experience. Whether you have 18s, 20s or 22s, (with factory suspension) the ride is generally smooth. 23's and up I can't speak for.
I wish all Mo owners can experience being in a Mo that has 18s,20s,22s,23s,24s... so that the ride quality issue can be resolved. |

I would never want to be in a MO when each wheel is a different size.......:D |

| To each their own I guess. Some people can tolerate a firmer ride than others. |

First - there is a spell check button. Just click it. it will make reading posts much easier.
Second - as some others said I would not consider Murano with 24". It just looks ridiculous. And that is beside harsh ride.
I always laugh when I see around here $200 cars driving on $2,000 sets of wheels and tires. Murano is not designed for that. Low profile tires are not for look, they are for performance.
Then again there is MARKETING! Suit yourself, if you like them go for them, but if you ask my opinion - see above. |

I have 45 series tires on 22s, the ride is very near stock quality. For example, if the stock tires where a "10", my 45's are a "9.5"....best combination of look and ride quality that I could find. |
