Well, my 1993 Nissan Murano bought 19 months ago now has 90,000 miles on it and is still perfroming excellent. On top of that I am just now looking to replace my original Goodyear's. I have been amazed that these tires have performed so well. I actually think they are a little noisy especially now, But they are just now ready for the rubber yard. Dealer has been amazed at how long they lasted. The Murano has been in very little except for expected service and once for a A/C weld fracture. Otherwise the best car for my business so far.

Big Congrats! 90k on the stock tires, wow thats gotta be a record.

 

[ivnurse]

Yes, You can believe it!!!

Stock tires with 90,000 miles. It is all highway miles but nothing special other than checking the air once a week. I am truly amazed myself but I am also very happy that I did not have to buy tires earlier. Now I just have to decide what I am to replace them with. I am interesetd in some twenties but not sure if the Goodyears come in that size. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Randy

Why try to fix it if it ain't broken? I'd just stay with the OEM.

Wow! 90K on stock tires! Simply amazing.

I am with zebelkhan, do not fix if ai't broken! Stay with GDY. If you do not believe read my Yokohama saga.

I agree with Mr. Z... Why mess with success?

I can't imagine getting 90K out of the Goodyears, or anything else. You must be really easy on the gas, and rotate regularly... Has this been with the recommended tire pressure?

Until Today

Today on Mother's Day the transmission went bye bye. Driving down the road and then nothing but increased RPM's. No Drive no reverse nothing. No warning at all. This sucks. I am at this minute waiting on a tow truck. Sorry Guys.

Ah man! Kind of sad to hear you report this in what was supposed to be a happy post. Update us on what the problem happened to be.

Wow I have 18,000 miles on my tires and rotate them everytime I change the oil(3500 miles) I'm getting new Eagles put on in 2 days(had to find them) What is the PSI in your Tires????

1993 Murano.

It must have been 'back to future' car

Got 20K on my wheels and still have more than half meat left. Rotated only once at 16K. I keep 38psi cold.

Might want to have the alignment checked if you're eating up tires... (translated, tyres)

 

[Mr. A]

Tires are fine.. had front end checked by dealer they said all your going to get is 20-25k at of them..I could get 5k more at of them but I'm driving to Disney World. And I don't want to take a chance on week tires.(More peace of mind then anything else). But it doesn't pull and tires dont show signs of abnormal wear.. Edges are alittle rounded. I've been telling the dealer since 3k on them, about the outside edges said thats normal for the MO...

Please post on the repair diagnoses, costs, and time. This is my major concern with the Murano is the first year of the CVT in this car. Love the MO, but concerned about the CVT reliability and maintenence costs. I have 40,000 now, Goodyears are still in great shape.

 

[camkay]

not even 30k

My MO came with Dunlop Grantek 18'' i definitely need to change them now as i am running on sliks wasn't happy with the performance, what do you suggest for 18''?

 

[nafddur]

Re: not even 30k

what do you suggest for 18''?

I'm at 60K miles on the original GY's, and they are still fine driving in the snow here in New England. But they are likely going to need replacement within the next year (probably before 70K). I don't think they will get through another inspection next Nov., and they certainly won't have enough tread left for another winter.

Still, I'm happy with over 60K on the original tires. I say the secret to tire longevity is regular rotation (every oil change) and pressure maintenance.

Wow camkay, pulled this thread straight outta the mothballs! Smells dusty...
