Congrats on the new ride and baby. Yes, the G is quite different than the Path, however I think the Path handles well for a truck based SUV.kylevd23 wrote:This is my DD, and it was a big change going from a G35 Coupe to this, but with our new baby home, we needed the extra room for me while picking them up after school.
265/65/17 is the OEM tire size. The speedo reading 2-3% MPH above actual speed is normal. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/sp ... er-scandalkylevd23 wrote: So the tires equipped on the Pathy when I bought it were the Bridgestone Dueler All season, though still decent tread and dry traction, there were a few complaints, one being the tires were undersized for the vehicle, my initial observations were that the pathy seemed to be going slower than what it showed on the speedometer, and I was right. The tire sizes were 265/65/17, I mounted a portable navigation unit, and I was right, it was 3-4 mph off, I also pass by the speed monitors setup by police daily and it confirmed the navigation speed as well. So I finally got time to head down to Discount tire, which excellent service as always, and picked up a set of BF Goodrich All-terrains. I wanted something good during winter, could get me through light trails going to campsites and weekend fishing trips, so this fit the bill. I upgraded to 265/70/17, and after a few test runs, the speedometer was accurate +-.5mph. But I'm pretty satisfied, gives the pathy a good look.
I'm not sure but have you checked under your Pathfinder to see if you already have them? My 08 LE V8 came with them. I did purchase the vehicle used so unsure what was done by the previous owner.BigEz wrote:I like the skid plates. I have heard Nissan offers them, but haven't seen them mounted before. They look good. I was thinking of that on my last trip through the Mesquite trees. Every time I drove over a clump of trees I would cringe at the sound of those little stiff branches poking and scraping my undercarriage. What was the costs?
Glad you found them prior to buying some from Nissan. They are thin so maybe aftermarket might be something to look into.BigEz wrote:Duh.. Yep, they are there. I knew I had a front plate because I have removed and replaced it to do some work, but I swore the transfer was uncovered. I stand corrected.
