The Nissan Path

Hey everyone. So, I've jumped in to owning a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder SV. I love it. I traded in my 16 Kia Sportage. So far I'm really loving my car. We updated for the third row due to starting the foster to adopt program so hopefully we will get to put this new space in to use. I'm a little bummed about the power. You can tell at acceleration that it struggles a little. And the MPG isn't what I'm used to but it's not horrible
So, I have a question. Does anyone know how big of a tire I can go without any wheel rub? I'm thinking some meatier tires would look pretty good and I found some aftermarket wheels I want - RTX Black Widow
If anyone has

Welcome to the board your new home away from home!

About the "sluggishness".. does the SV trim have an "S" mode for the transmission?
If so just leave it in there as long as you arent on the highway.
You will feel a difference.

I used to do this all the time in my 2014 Altima

I am afraid I cant answer your tire question but i am sure someone else can and will

Thank you for the reply. I've looked all over and can't find anything that has an "S" on it, so it must not have it. Basically, it's always in 2wd then there is a knob on the console near the armrest that is the 4wd option.

I just looked up a pic of your model year transmission stick online.
yes there is no "S" option.

Either way its a great rig

Also consider doing a transmission fluid replace if previous owner hasnt.
You are still under warranty and want to protect that

For the CVT transmissions since its so specific this is one thing that should be done by dealer.

Also consider asking the dealer if there isn't a software update available or needed on your model year (though I dont know of one.. maybe one of your better qualified staff will know )
