How many miles on 'em? Even if they're considered "wear & tear" items/parts, they should have some kinda warranty. Give it a shot, dude, you may be in for a surprise!

i had a defect go wrong with the tire on my last truck. they were also RA 050A tires (like my car came with). basically, along the tread from left to right, they had minor cuts like i ran over something sharp. i didnt, and it was on all four tires. it wasnt a saftey concern, but it was still a defect. my tires had 16k on them (longer than they should last) but i still got all four new tires on, minus the mounting charge. it was great!

HOLY smokes! that's crazy!

Hopefully everything gets resolved quickly.

I'm just curious, what's the tire pressure on that wheel?

Hey AK, what do you think is the max safe pressure for these 18" advans?

i have mine set cold @ 36-37psi

zcoupe09 · 10-28-2009, 10:42 AM

it was around 36-37 psi...im waiting for a call back from advan and im gonna go to Nissan this weekend...due to the fact i work in the city all day mon-fri

im bringing the tire to a Yokohama dealer later today and going to have them inspect it...Nathan from Advan is handling my case..great guy..hopefully its warrantable.

I guess it all comes to the feel of the car, but after testing all different pressures, I’ll probably stick with the recommended 35psi.

yeah, 35 seems fine...plus the air heats up with the constant tire rotation as well, giving an extra lb or so...

i run a lil higher in cold weather...spring/summer/fall i have it at 35psi
