new tire help please

Post by **burrpenick** » Tue Nov 17, 2020 8:52 pm

DIdnt see much in a search...... My 2015 Rogue just hit 45K on the stock Hankooks, but they are ready to be replaced. Put Pirellas on my other ca- love them so far; WHAT does the group suggest for an AFFORDABLE tire that will deliver 45K+ miles and handle as good or better than the stockers?

We put new tires on our 2015 in May 2019. Went with Goodyear Assurance MAXLIFE. 80,000 mile treadlife with 11/32" when new. As opposed to the 65,000 treadlife for the standard Assurance tires at 9/32" depth when new. Size 225/60-18 for the SL were around $150 each. 17" tires for your SV might be cheaper.
Handling is as good or better than the OEM Dunlop Grandtreks that came with the car.

We have Firestone Destination LE2 on my 2018 and my wife's 2014 Rogues. Great tire, runs quiet and handles really well, especially in the rain. A few times a year you can get a rebate or gift card back on a set of 4.

I had the Dunlop Grandtreks and they were trouble free for me for my 2016 Rogue. However, I am currently running The Assurance Maxlife on my Acura (245/50R20) and these bad boys are loosing balance out of nowhere like from immediately to couple hundred miles. Where have you purchased your Goodyear's from?

Local Tire shop. No issues with anything in the 18 months we've had them. Handle snow great.

I'd suggest you going with Discount Tire with these tires. These are okay but I cannot speak that well for the General Tire brand, but since they are owned by Continental, I would say given them a try and see how you like them.

I almost went with those on our Rogue. Good tires, but that price is a bit high. Not sure if that is due to the 19" size? I had Generals on 1 car and 2 trucks back in the 80's and they were good back then.
The 225/60 R18's were quoted at $131 from a local tire shop last April. Quote had all four for just under $680 including tax, road hazard, installation w/lifetime rotation & balance.

Same price at Discount Tire - $176,00. Looks like the customer reviews on them there are good as well. I like to buy them when they have the "buy 3 get the 4th tire free" promo.

Discount Tire gave me two sets of tires for free just because the first set was bad. Its just something to look into if something does go bad with these tires, since tire rack doesn't have any stores that you can just go and say "i need warranty replacement on my new tires". My 2 cents for this.

Those buy 3 get the 4th free is a gimmick. You practically pay the same in the end. All semantics just to make you feel all warm and cuddly inside thinking you getting a deal.

I fell for it in the past cuz i was stupid.

Look for rebates or getting discounts from getting a credit card from the tire store. Or rewards card for applying for the credit card. Military discounts.

I applied for a credit card to get a discount. Paid approximately $700 a week later. Done. Never used the card again.

Got the tire insurance certificate, free air, rotation, etc.
Did this last July.

Funny thing is I'm getting 2mpg better mileage moving from 17inch oem wheels & 27 inch performance tires to 16in wheels & 29 inch all terrain tires. At least according to my nissan display. Yes, I have terrible mileage.

Even though the latter is 1-2 pounds heavier of unsprung weight on all 4 corners.

Actually it honestly depends on the place that's offering the buy 3 get 1 free. Really have to read the fine print. My local Honda dealer was offering that plus free rotations and balancing. Basically that offer I would have been paying for 3 tires, disposal fee, new tire tax, and alignment for 4 tires. But here's the catch: They didn't have the tires I wanted in stock and their vendor doesn't carry them at all. And they were pushing for Goodyear and Michelins. I honestly would've went with Goodyears if corporate wasn't so political; yet, i still ended up with them for free (gotta love warranties).

And speaking of MPGs, have you been doing manual calculation at all? I personally don't trust the onboard system for how much MPG I am getting.

Post by **casperfun** » Sat Dec 05, 2020 9:28 pm

I'm too lazy to manually calculate.

But my usual display shows 16mpg.

I get 18mpg now. In city.

Still crappy, could be the fuel cleaners too.

I created a spreadsheet that when I just enter my numbers it automatically does the calculations for me (did this for my old Rogue and currently doing this with my current vehicle). But still, holy cow, 18 MPG in city is worse than me with a V6 engine. I wouldn't say its the fuel cleaners; its more inline with the additional weight in the vehicle and the constant stop and go driving. But even with constant stop and go driving, you should be getting in the low to mid 20s.

Probably without the hundreds of pounds in exterior accessories, I might get better fuel economy.

Heavy nerf bars, rear tube, heavy bull bar with driving lights, very non aerodynamics roof light bar and a mid heavy cargo basket. With all terrains.

Not the usually 1st generation bubble car but a blocky off road machine, hence the lower mpgs.

I remember when I first got it a decade ago and drove it on a long trip without most of the add-ons and oem continental tires, i got the display to show around 43mpgs.

Mind you, under perfect conditions, with a tornado wind like backdraft, on flat highway terrain, going 50-60 mph.

Good ole days!

I've been using Fuelly to track my mileage for several years now. Just punch in your odometer and fuel every time you fill up and it does pretty much everything else for you. It charts everything and can give you a pretty good idea of your driving habits, whether some fuel brands work better than others, and can provide some insight whether something's off with your car.

I recently installed Federal brand tires for the front. $75 each. Not bad. So so rating for water conditions. Any thoughts?

I live in Miami. Weather is unpredictable lol. Either wet, cold or hot or all three in the same day. Installed Federal brand tires for the front. Not bad overall and pricing. My 2019 sv almost at 40k miles on original tires.

I know Miami weather very well. I got my tires for my 16 in CS not far from Miami (basically Nissan dealer). Miami weather isn’t that far off from Orlando weather.
