Using automatic selection of tires and rims for the car Nissan x-trail, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of the car manufacturers. After all, they have a huge impact on a significant part of the vehicle's operational properties, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, one cannot fail to note the importance of tires and rims as active safety elements. That is why the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which presupposes the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, most car owners prefer not to get into such technical nuances. This situation makes the automatic matching system an extremely useful tool in preventing wrong choices when buying tires and rims. And there is plenty to choose from, thanks to the widest range of such products presented in the Mosavtoshina online store.

Is it late or early every motorist “kills”, “treads”, “rolls to the cord” rubber and is faced with the need to replace it. Unfortunately, the owners of Nissan X-Trail are no exception in this sense. To help them in choosing tires, to give recommendations on their operation is the purpose of this article. So, in order.

What tires are fitted at the factory on the Nissan X-Trail?

Rice. 1. The main parameters of the bus.

For fifteen years of production of Ixtrail, cars were equipped with tires of various standard sizes. Their width (A is the first number in the marking) for modifications varied from 215 to 225 millimeters, the profile (P is the second number in the marking, written through a fraction) - from 55 to 70% and the landing diameter (R is the last number in the marking) - 15 to 18 inches. And as an option, the latter - the thirty-second Nissan X-Trail, launched in series since 2015, can even be fitted with nineteen-inch tires.

Choosing tire size for Nissan X-Trail

So which of the above tire sizes should you choose for your X-Trail? The answer to this question is extremely simple - open the car manual.

But what if the car was purchased on the secondary market, and there is no manual? The table below will help solve the problem, which indicates which tires the manufacturer recommends for the Nissan X Trail T31, T30 and T32.

Year of issue	Nissan X-Trail modification	Manufacturer's Recommended Tire Size for Nissan X-Trail
2001-2007	T30	215/70 R15; 215/65 R16; 215/60 R17
2007-2009	T31	215/65 R16; 215/60 R17
	T31 2.0;	215/65 R16; 215/60 R17;
	T31 2.0 DCi; T31 2.0 DCi 4x4;	215/65 R16; 215/60 R17; 225/60 R17; 225/55 R18
	T31 2.5	225/60 R17; 225/55 R18
2011-2015	T31	225/60 R17; 225/55 R18
2015 — 2016	T32	225/65 R17; 225/60 R18; 225/55 R19

Choosing from several possible tire options for the Nissan X-Trail T31, T30 and T32 indicated in the last column, you first need to focus on the diameter of the wheels installed on the car. It must correspond to R - the rim diameter of the tire. Otherwise, the wheel will not be mounted.

You can quickly select and determine the correct tire models.

Let's say that for some reason in terms of the width of the tire and its profile, you will be forced to deviate from the strict recommendations of the manufacturer. In this case, consider the following:

• If you increase the width of the tires on the Nissan X-Trail, then with a slight increase in the level of grip and a shorter braking distance, you will get increased fuel consumption, the risk of jamming the wheel arch liners and an increase in noise levels.
• Fitting tires with smaller widths will shorten their service life and reduce traction during the warmer months.
• With an increase in the wheel profile, the controllability of the car at speed will decrease, the speedometer and mileage counter will not work correctly, the ground clearance and the probability of deformation of the elements of the wheel arches will increase.
• If you reduce the profile, then due to a decrease in clearance, there is a risk of damage to body parts and wheels, the car will become stiffer, and the speedometer readings will be lower than real values.

It is necessary to realize that the manufacturer has selected the optimal tire size for the entire Nissan X-Trail T31, T30 and T32, that the tires work in conjunction with the rest of the nodes. Therefore, any changes in their dimensions may upset the balance and will not lead to an improvement in the overall performance of the vehicle.

In cases where you still have to deviate from Nissan's recommendations, make sure that the tires, even on different axles, have the same width and profile. This is especially true for all-wheel drive models (Nissan X-Trail T31 2.0 4 × 4, Nissan X-Trail T31 2.0 DCi 4 × 4), in which the imbalance of tractive forces on each wheel can lead to unpredictable behavior of the car in difficult conditions (water, mud, ice).

The choice of tires for Nissan Ixtrail by speed and load index

When choosing tires for Nissan Ixtrail, you should pay attention to some additional parameters.

Speed ​​index in the form of letters of the Latin alphabet is applied to the side surface of the tire. It indicates the maximum permissible speed for a given tire under normal load.

If the car travels faster than the speed index for a long time, then there is a real risk of tire destruction. Accordingly, "real Russians", i.e. fans of fast driving should pay close attention to this indicator (especially when choosing summer tires). Its values ​​are shown in the table.

Speed ​​index
Shows the maximum permissible travel speed at maximum tire load

Speed ​​index	Speed, km / h	Speed ​​index	Speed, km / h
L	120	H	210
M	130	V	240
N	140	W	270
P	150	Y	300
Q	160	VR	>210
R	170	ZR	>240
S	180	ZR (Y)	>300
T	190

Load index- shows the maximum permissible tire load and is indicated by a number. The load index values ​​are shown in Figure 6. Check the load index if you plan to transport heavy items on your Nissan X-Trail.

Rice. 6. Load index - shows the maximum permissible load on the tire and is indicated by a number.

Tire pressures for Nissan X-Trail

Optimal tire pressure (i.e. pressure specified by the manufacturer) ensures the stability of the contact patch and quick heat dissipation, reduces rolling resistance, and prevents uneven rubber wear.

Excessive pressure increases the risk of tire damage, increases the load on the suspension parts, increases the noise level, and deteriorates traction. If it is insufficient, the rubber overheats, which leads to a reduction in its service life, fuel consumption increases, and it becomes more difficult to drive a car.

Rice. 7. Tire pressure is a necessary indicator that ensures heat removal from tires and stability of contact with the road.

How to choose the pressure in the Nissan Ixtrail tires? The answer is simple - refer to the factory recommendations. In the opening of the driver's door, on a nameplate attached to the lower part of the B-pillar, all the necessary indicators are indicated (see Figure 7).

Typical pressures for various versions of the Nissan X-Trail are 2.3-2.6 kg / cm 2 for the front wheels and 2.1-2.4 kg / cm 2 for the rear. It should be noted that measurements must be taken on cold tires.

Tires are the link between the car and the road

Approach responsibly the choice of wheels for your car, ensure that the tire size on the Nissan X-Trail strictly complies with the manufacturer's recommendations, regularly monitor the tire pressure, make life easier for your car, and in return it will surely make your life easier.

The dimensions of the Nissan X-Trail wheels are selected according to a special table of the body model and the year of manufacture of the car. All sizes are fully spelled out on the official website. As for the 2015 models, dealerships already have tires and wheels, you can order any recommended models. The size of the Nissan X-Trail wheels is clearly regulated by the manufacturer. If the selection parameters are violated, the car owner is completely deprived of the factory warranty.

Factory recommended parameters of Nissan X-Trail 2015 wheels include all sizes R17-19 and are included in the selection table. If you are planning to replace X-Trail tires or rims for the vehicle under warranty, it is advisable to check with an Authorized Service Center if your choice will affect the preservation of the warranty.

Quite often, Nissan X-Trail dealers are extremely intolerant of installing tires and wheels not from recommended manufacturers and completely regulate the size, marking, and method of wheel mounting. Unfortunately, in branded auto centers the cost of tires and wheels is 20-50% higher than in other stores. The price of a new set of tires for the 2015 model starts at 150,000 rubles. Replicas of the original discs for 2015 leave much to be desired and have a number of installation problems.

How do I read the disk index?

The parameters of the discs significantly affect the chassis of the car.

Incorrectly selected rims or tires not only impair driving performance, but also lead to dangerous situations on the road. For this reason, you should look for discs that fully meet the requirements of the car manufacturer, or order original ones. This is especially true for the 2015 Nissan X-Trail models.

For example, let's take the recommended disk for (2015): R18x 7J 5 × 114.3, ET = 45, DIA = 66.1.

• R is, of course, the radius;
• 7 - disc width in inches;
• 5 × 114.3 is the number of landing bolts with the diameter on which the fasteners are located;
• ET = 45 - disk departure;
• DIA = 66.1, as a variant of writing d66,1. Diameter of the central hole on the side of the mating plane in millimeters.

Important! Cast alloy wheels Nissan X-Trail T31 and T32 2015 can have adapter centering rings. The letters J, JJ, K, JK, B, P, D represent the shape of the disc rims.

How to read Nissan X-Trail tire markings?

For fifteen years of production of "Ixtrail" cars were equipped with tires of various standard sizes.

The first number means the width in millimeters. For example, the first issues 215/65 R16.

• A - 215 mm. - the width of the tire profile;
• P is the next digit, the percentage of tire height to width. In this case, 65;
• R - marking of the radial arrangement of the threads of the tire carcass, cord;
• 16 - landing diameter in inches *.

* For reference, 1 inch = 2.55 cm.

For convenience, we have categorized the models by year of manufacture. It's easier to navigate this way. Both cast and pressed steel discs are recommended for all models. If there is a choice of forged wheels, it is better to choose from. Forged wheels show excellent results in all respects.... In addition to excellent performance, forged wheels are quite repairable.

2001-2006

On the Nissan X-Trail of the first issues of 2001 to 2006, tires 215/65 R16 are recommended, which are normally fitted with bolt discs under 5x114.3. The central disc diameter is 66.1, the offset is 40.

2007-2010

Wheels Nissan X-Trail of the second generation, release 2007-2010, may be as follows.

The second option is the selection of tires 5/60 R17, the size of the wheels for the Nissan X-Trail with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3, the central diameter is 66.1, the offset is 40.

2011-2013

Allowable wheel size Nissan X-Trail T31, produced in 2011-2013. Possible options include tires 225/60 R17, wheel size Nissan Ikstrail T31 5x114.3, diameter 66.1, offset 40.
The second option is Tires 225/55 R18 and discs 5x114.3, central diameter 66.1, offset 40.

Restyling 2015

Wheels for the Nissan X-Trail T32 2015 are still very rare and differ in a very significant cost. For a branded disk, sellers are currently asking for from 20 to 30 thousand rubles.

How to choose wheels on the Nissan X-Trail?

A car is a vehicle, accordingly, it needs to comply with certain rules. When choosing tires and wheels, you must be guided by safety considerations and vehicle maintenance rules. Aesthetic preferences when choosing tires are certainly important, but not decisive. Also, you should not be guided by economic considerations or rely on advertising information provided by various manufacturers.

Manufacturers strive to present their products as universal, suitable for any standard size, car brand and weather conditions, and promise a suspended cross-country ability and unprecedented durability. In fact, universal wheels and wheels on the Nissan X-Trail do not exist.

Choosing tires and rims for the Nissan X-Trail, the car owner will have to make a choice between speed characteristics, softness, durability, high cross-country ability, and frost resistance.

The wheels on the Nissan X-Trail with high flotation have a high tread and a thick tire. In this case, Nissan X-Trail wheels are distinguished by their massiveness and fastening strength. All this affects the speed characteristics and operating noise. Wheels designed for off-road behave excellently on a difficult track, but in terms of speed indicators and level of comfort they are inferior to tires designed for highways.

Special high-speed wheels and discs are distinguished by increased tire softness and good aerodynamic properties of the discs. It is a pleasure to drive around the city and on good asphalt on these tires. But such tires wear out faster and react poorly to road surface defects. The smoothness of high-speed tires can cause poor grip on the road in wet conditions, icing, looseness of the road surface, and snow. Wheels sharpened for speed are less durable and subject to any kind of shock.

Repairing alloy wheels for high-speed tires is highly discouraged. Despite their high cost, neither re-rolling of cast discs, nor annealing, nor brazing, does not restore the working properties of cast high-speed discs. It is more practical, of course, to take ordinary steel ones, although they are inferior in aerodynamics.

What is the risk of incorrect selection of disks?

The smallest troubles that arise with the wrong selection of disks is the accelerated wear of tires and the chassis of the car, on which the off-design load falls.

Unfortunately, one of the possible troubles is the danger of sudden destruction of the hubs, the chassis of the car during emergency loads or simply when driving. An incorrectly fitted wheel can come off in the middle of the road, creating an extremely dangerous situation.

The correct tire fitting and the exact size of the wheels on the Nissan X-Trail will not only preserve the dealer's warranty, but also drive safely and comfortably. Perhaps it will cost a little more money. It would be unwise to save on the safety of your own transport.

Errors of tire fitting and disc fastening

The mounting holes of the discs are usually made with some plus diameter tolerance. For this reason, it is possible to make a mistake when choosing a PCD. This is categorically unacceptable, since it leads to the fact that out of 4-6 standard fasteners, only 1 bolt will be fully tightened. The rest of the bolts will be pulled to the side, creating the appearance of being tight until they stop.

How to understand that an error occurred during editing?

The main sign is that the nuts are unscrewed when driving, the wheel "beats" and behaves unevenly on the road.

Be careful when choosing discs, do not allow risky experiments.
