I have a 2006 Nissan Maxima with 125K manual transmission. I bought car used and it’s time for me to replace the 225/45/18 tires on it. It appears from looking on line, this is not the original size from Nissan. Can I go back with a different size as long as it’s an 18 inch tire? Any suggestions or recommendations appreciated. Either way it seems these will be very expensive tires. Thanks in advance. ---

This is easy. Look at the door plaque for tire size. go to tire store. ---

Ther should be a placard/sticker either on the end of your drivers door, or on the body by the door latch. It will have the exact info from the factory. ---

Tire Rack lists 245/45x18 for your car. Looks like the ones on there are a little small. Just put 4 of the right size on it. ---

Before taking the advice above, make sure that you still have the factory wheels. ---

That’s helpful, but texases mentioned the correct tire size 8 days ago 😃
