Tire wear issues on 2001 Nissan Pathfinder

you answered your own question

really can be anything suspension wise

sway bar bushings/ endlinks, all the other rubber parts under there by the control arms and what-not does degrade over time

you can live with it & just make sure the tire wears evenly

or start replacing those affected parts either one-by-one in stages or bend over with your wallet and change everything!

some tire shops auto service shops do a "free inspection" and will let you know what's worn under there ( like when you're buying a set of tires or doing an oil change... just mention to look around and list the things that are worn out)

Your owners manual should have a troubleshooting chapter. It also has codes many times for tire pressure causing lights to go on.

Usally after setting your tire pressure to specs. and driving your vechicle for a mile or so it should reset it self. If not try disconnecting the negative battery post for a few minutes. Worse case scenerio take it to your tire dealer. Good luck

Alignment won't fail unless you hit a curb

The vehicles worn parts have never been
diagnosed & replaced,that is obvious

You go to an alignment only shop that knows
how to properly repair things before ailgning

Considering the age of the car, you are on a need to fix basis. there is set guide line for front end parts wearing out or being replaced, If the struts are shot, and you replace them, It doesn't mean you have solved the problem, the whole steering linkage could be bad as well as the ball joints if it has them and anything else in there that takes the bumps. My 03 pathfinder makes an awful sound when I turn the wheel just right, I have yet to get under there to see what's wrong. The rear is a marshmallow, no shocks at all, and the tires practically rub on the wheel wells. So, It is your call. You could go ahead with the struts, then see how it goes, if it is still bad, check the linkage out see if anything is wore out. All the tie rods ends and the ball joints are suspect. You can get a bar under each tire and have someone lift up on the wheel while watching the joints move, you will be able to tell if they are bad or not. But,,, big but here, most front wheel drive cars have better front ends. Hope this helps.

press and hold the tire pressure reset button for 5 sec or until u see the light flash

Many great spares in the salvage yards.

tire monitors pressure is low in a tire they **** if its blinking u have a problem just keep tires inflated to 36psi or sensors wont work if that fails go to dealer low tire pressure

265-70-17" should fit without any issue. It is always best to check whilst the new tires are being fit.

Yes, its all about wear rates and actual tyre sizes, wheel speeds etc. If one tyre is 2 mm smaller than another this one will turn faster than the rest causing, abs faults, traction control faults and transfer gear faults. Always change all four together and rotate the wheels to keep even tyre wear. I know this can be expensive but the transfer case and transmission are a far greater expense.
