Nissan X Trail.....2007 model. Drove my sisters today, it wallows like crazy around corners. Has anyone fitted aftermarket mags or low profile tyres to see if it improved the ride on this vehicle ?

Fit standard profile wheels and tyres.

Vehicle not lowered ..not low profile tyres or aftermarket mags ?

if truck is parked on flat ground
no load four matching stock tires ...

should be all the same front measurement
then same rear tyre to fender measurement
check all tryes are same size and tyre pressure

possible soft suspension or shocks or worn bushes

It is possible that they might work if you use avery low-profile tire on them. Take one of the wheels off of the front and place the wheel on the hub. Make sure that the bolt holes line up properly and that the center holeof the rim fits the shoulder on the hub correctly. Put a couple ug nuts on it and turn the wheel around to see if it is going to rub on the brake calipers or other components. If this is OK, then you need to choose some tires that will make the overall diameter of the tire and wheel assembly as close as possible to the overall diameter of the original tires. If your tires are too tall. they will hit the fender when you hit bumps or when you are turning. This will also affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

to provide some feedback by rating my answer.

As long as manufactures recommended height is maintained it shouldn't matter but if it's not than than this could affect your speedo and also make sure you have enough clearance for the turning movement.Alocal tyre or mags place should be able to calculate which size is recommended for you vehicle.

okay,lets go to basics...1/.175 is the width of the tyre.2/.70 is the profile(that is 70mm from the wheel rim to the road).3/.13 is the width of the wheel rim.
So,you have 185(wider tread)60 (lower profile)14"(bigger wheels).you need to fit 35 profile tyres to get close to the same rolling radius to correct the speedo,the ride will be harder and the tyres are much more expensive,alternatively fit 13" wheels/tyres.
70/13 radius is the same circumferance as 45/14(25mm thinner).
simply put,if you measure the original wheel, road to top of tyre,then measure the ones fitted you are an inch to tall or 3.1/2" more around (approximately)please leave feedback...ta
geoff.

if theyre mags,up to about 20" probably,but youll need very low profile tyres,say 35 rating,not cheap.go to a wrecker,and experiment

all passenger cars run at 32psi front and rear. unless low profile mags and tyres are fitted the run around 36 psi. hope i have helped.
