Wow that's great! Thanks.

 

WG - I notice your table doesn't have 265/60/18's?

FYI - There are a few of us that run this size with no rubbing issues.

 

Can you please, or anyone explain/confirm if this is a good size for a 08 mo? I dont understand 80mpg, or tire var in the table.
What benefits does it have to use this size over 325/65/18?
Id appreciate any answer.

 

KSmurano, Thanks for pointing that out!

I've updated the table with every size/rim combination that falls within 3% variance of the OEM tire.

Good chart. I'm making this a sticky.

Thanks for keeping within 3% of OEM. Hopefully this will help MO owners avoid sizes too large or too small.

 

Hi WG,
Just for info: in Germany the following tyres are also homologated:
235/55R19
255/50R19
265/50R19
275/45R19
275/50R19

 

Sorry...the last one is on your chart!

Alex,

Thanks for your contribution, I've added 235/55R19 and 265/50R19 to the table.

255/50R19 tire size is -3.31% smaller than the spec and 275/45R19 is 4.37% smaller than spec. Since the table only includes tires that are within 3% of the OEM tire diameter I have left these out.

Thanks,

WG

you can also add the 275/25/24 and the 23' tire but i forgot the correct size though.

 

Here's a good tire calculator to calculate specs of other tire sizes. You also have to remember that tire sizes vary for each tire model. So check with tire manufacturers for exact tire heights.

 

I saw that tire rack shows a 265/50/20 for the MO. Has anyone tried a 275/45/20? There is a slight difference... I think it would look better. Anyone, anyone..?

Jast installed them, a bit rough driving. What is optimal pressure for that size? I have 40psi now, what would be ok for them?

LeoMurano-

There is no right answer to your question. The optimum air pressure has a lot to do with the tire construction, as well as the size, so it can vary between tire manufacturers.

You need to find a compromise between handling and comfort. Play around with various pressures until you find the right combination, Just do not exceed the maximum pressure imprinted on the sidewall.

Also, don't forget to post pics of the new rubber. We like to see how it looks.

here is a really cool link that will show the difference between two tires

I found that 39 psi works very well for me. Handling/comfort balance.

I suggest going one size larger (285/50-20), as I have done. It is a "guaranteed fitment", according to Discount Tire Direct (even a 295/45-20 should work fine with no clearance or rubbing problems, as long as you select the correct wheel offset and rim width).

The Yokohama Parada Spec-X that I selected for my 2009 Murano LE are fabulous tires, so-far!

 

hi everyone,
does anyone know if some 20 inch rims with toyo proxes s/t size 255/45/20 v-speed rated will fit my 03 mo?
i looked on a thread with the tire chart but didnt see this size?
any feedback is appreciated?
also considering some 275/45/20 with hankook ventus rh06.
thanks guys!

 

245/45-20 on 2003 Murano

This size should work fine on a 20 x 8.5 to 20 x 9.5 rim on that vehicle. If you want to be sure, just call the Tech Service line at Discount Tire Direct (or Tire Rack, although I find DTD to be more helpful and far less arrogant).

 

i was asking about 255/45/20. did u just make a typo? thanks dougmael. because u replied w/ 245/45/20. thanks

 

is anyone here selling some toyo's, yokohamas or even the oem's??? thanks....

 

Yes, that was a typo on my part; I meant 255/45-20, which should fit just fine.

 

thanks dougmael

 

Hey,

Just to get it right

Is there any other major concerns with going with tires that are 3.3% off the OEM other than speedo being out by 2 MPH ??

There is A LOT of awesome tire choices with 255/55/18, and being more means cheaper.

I would definitely rather go with a better tire thats off by a little bit more, than getting not the best rated tire just cause of size restrictions.
I know it would be best to keep it under 3%, but as far as reading most of the threads, there is no mechanical (CVT, MPG, wear and tear) disadvantages with going just over recommended 3%.

If you guys strongly disagree with going over 3% - than there is only 1 tire for me for our Canadian winters - Fortera Triple Tread (it now comes in OEM size)

Thnx

 

Personally, I do not see a problem with going 3.3% over rather than 3%, but that's just me .... and remember, I am the guy who went with 285/50-20 tires on 9.5" wide wheels on my new '09 Murano (almost 4,000 miles so far and no problems).


FWIW -- Someone else asked about going with 275/45-20s on his Murano. When I was wheel and tire shopping for my '09, the helpful folks at Discount Tire Direct advised against this, and suggested going with the 285/50s instead.

Toyo Proxes STIIs are now available, and they were my other choice when I bought the Yokohama Parada-X tires for the '09.

 

Would 245/45ZR18 BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S (Ultra High Performance All-Season) fit on the stock 18's? I know looking at the Miata web site it was saying there'd be an 11% difference from actual speed on my speedometer though. Or do you think that size is just way too far off? I'd like a wider/lower profile tire that the stock Eagles that are originals after nearly 50,000 miles.
