EX35 OEM Dunlop Tires

[simon949]

Out of all the Nissans I've owned I never had to replace my factory tires. Now, my 2010 EX35 AWD Journey with 18" Dunlops need new tires at 29,000 miles. This is unheard of for me. The tech said, they were all chopped up in the center and edges. I rotate my tires every 7,500 and I also use extended life NitroFill.

Can any of you EX35 owner's tell me about your experiece with the 18" Dunlops?

My EX came with the 17" OEM Michelins, so I can't personally comment on the Dunlops. However, the OEM 18" Dunlops seem to have a bad reputation and have been previously discussed here. See the following threads.

Those were the first two threads I found. There may be even more deeper in this sub-forum.
