Same problem as everyone else out there, just extra frustrated that NO ONE will sell me a different rim and tire combination. Every dealer and tire shop sites "safety concerns". Nissan sold this van with a 17" non PAX rim and tire, why can't I buy those? Are there presumabably hundreds of thousands of "unsafe" Nissan Quests riding around with "unsafe" 17" rims? When are they going to recall them?

I went to bald on my tires and got about 32K out of them. better than most out there. The cost to replace all 4 PAX tires at the 1 available shop in northen CA is $1300 including mounting. Again, better than a lot of what I see on message boards. My BIG concern at this point is beyond this years tire replacement, what happens next year, and the next, and the next. Supply and demand dictates that eventually I can buy a new car for less than the price of the tires. If I can replace them at all. Is my resale value dropping by the second, who wants to buy a car they can't put tires on, or exercise some self help and just take the PAX stuff off. By the way, even if I figure out the wheel tire combo, order them online, find a back alley shop to mount and ballance, I still have to go to the dealer to deal with the blinking light. Nissan already knows that game and won't reset. Personally, I want to De-PAX ASAP. I have not seen anywhere online what the proper size is to order. I find it for Honda, not for Nissan.

The class action settlement is about as valuable as the tires I ride on. If Nissan settles the same as Honda, I can proudly accept a $300 coupon towards the purchase of a new Nissan???!!!!

I have 2006 SE still under warranty (29K miles), replaced the PAX wheels with regular tires and had warranty service performed to reset flashing tire pressure sensor after wheels were replaced and it was still covered by warranty. So I would say go for it!

It was a big pain for me. I bought a car out of state, flew to dealer, bought car and thought I'd stop by Sams Club to replace back 2 tires for about $250 or so (10% left) before driving home. But, Sams had no idea what to do when I showed up with PAX tires. After several phone calls and a quoted price of about $700 just to replace rear tires, I decided I didn't want to fuss with them.

Long story only slighty shorter, I had to drive home on old tires, call several PAX dealers in state (most claimed you couldn't swap), then found one in ATL that would do it.

I ordered some reconditioned wheels from TheWheelWarehouse.com (highly recommend them, ask for Dan). Got 17 x 6 1/2 6-spoke wheel for an '07 Nissan Quest (stock wheels). They look great on van. Cost just under $1000 total to have them all shipped and they were like new when arrived. (they look similar to this: http://catalog.thewheelwarehouse.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_494&products_id=817) I'd have to find the exact part number because I had to order 07 wheels instead of 06 since nobody had the 06 in stock.

I took the wheels to the PAX dealer and bought standard tires from him since he was going take old tires off, I didn't really want to buy tires elsewhere (I don't have the exact size with me but could get it if needed). He charged right about $600 for tires plus installation to removed tire pressure sensors from PAX wheels and then install in the new wheels.

Everything installed fine and like I said, I had to get one of the sensors reset at a dealer because it was flashing, but otherwise, we're all taken care of (it was flashing before wheels were replaced too). I spent about $1,600 but now I have 60K tires and I'm well ahead in the long run.

I was going to list the PAX wheels in the classifieds on here too because I don't want them any more. But hopefully that gives you hope. You just need to find a local authorized dealer who's willing to swap. People claim that the wheel sizes aren't compatible, but it works just fine!

Good luck and let me know if you need any other info since I've already been through the process.
