Nissan tyre tips
- Patrol Y62 owners who tow boats or caravans should choose tyres with a load index of at least 116 and an XL or LT construction.
- LT-metric tyres on a Patrol ride harder and need higher pressure than the P-metric originals, so recheck the pressure after fitting rather than copying the placard.
- Sunny and Kicks use small, inexpensive sizes; replace all four together so the ABS and stability control see matching rolling diameters.
- Altima and X-Trail models have CVT gearboxes that dislike mismatched tread depth on the driven axle; replace front tyres in pairs at minimum.
Common factory tyres on Nissan: Bridgestone, Dunlop, Yokohama, Hankook, Michelin.

When to replace the tyres
Most SUV tyres last 35,000–55,000 km in the UAE. Heavy SUVs wear tyres faster, especially if pressures are allowed to drop. Replace at about five years regardless of tread, and check the spare as well.
Compact SUVs typically need a load index of 100–104 with H or V rating. Large SUVs such as the Land Cruiser, Patrol and LX need 110–116, often with S, T or H rating on H/T and A/T tyres. Many European SUVs specify XL tyres. Never go below the placard load index on a heavy SUV.
