replacing PAX tires on 2006 Quest
Ok, like most everyone else I'm fed up with the PAX tires. I plan on changing over to regular wheels and tires but wondered what those of you that have already done this are doing for a spare? If you have one where are you keeping it? We were told that the compartment where the spare goes is missing on PAX equiped Quests. I haven't checked yet but I'm going to as I have been lied to before by my dealer. Comments welcome.
Replacing PAX Tires on a 2006 Quest
I just replaced the tires and rims on my 2007 Quest with the PAX system. I went to the Tire Rack and got a set of 17 inch rims with Yokohama tires. Mounted and balanced with tire pressure monitor sensors it cost me $1,143. I went on to Craigslist and got a brand new spare form someone parting out a Quest for $30. If you lift up the compartment where the spare is supposed to go, the organizer that is in the spare tire well pops right out. Spare goes right in. All that is left for me to do is go to Nisaan and get my tire pressure monitor light reset. Oh, when you order tires online, do not tell them you are replacing a PAX system. They will not even talk to you. Tell them you have a Quest with 17 inch rims.
Yeah, believe it or not we
Yeah, believe it or not we had never looked where the spare goes. I looked in the floor after posting this and found the organizer and removed it. I'm having no luck with finding a spare as of yet. I ended up with 4 17 inch wheels and Michelin tires mounted balanced new sensors and all to the house for $1,163.00. Be sure and come up with some way to secure your spare in the storage hole. Wouldn't want that thing to come out and start flying around in a wreck. Thanks for the reply.
