Same thing happened on my GLS.  Took it to Town Fair Tire and they said it shouldn't be an issue.

Plenty of Nissans driven by a certain demographic around here.

I'd still buy one of these if they were cheap :thumbsup:

Quote from: Morris Minor on May 14, 2024, 02:55:39 PMI was having a nostalgic moment thinking about it. My late dad came with us to pick it up from the dealer & sat next to me on the way back home. The cars he bought when I was a kid were worn out by 30,000 miles, and even if not worn out, bodywork rust would be poking through by year three.

The Pilot's been all over the place & followed my son through his time in the Navy; it's been registered in Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts and California. Just after he arrived in Boston people used to stop him and ask about the Hawaii plates.

I wanted to get my old Mazda6 into the 200k-250k range but buying a Miata was much more fun.

I should pull a CarFax report on it and see if it's still registered and running around.

Quote from: CaminoRacer on May 14, 2024, 09:29:36 AMIf the other tires have a lot of tread left, TireRack should be able to shave the new tire to match the tread depth and then you'd still have a perfectly matching set of 4.

That's my plan! I'll have to get a depth measure tool, shouldn't be too much.
