When we got our Pathfinder (2002) we were running 33 when I brought it home and I thought the tyres looked a bit "soft", and while I realise that they are radials and radial walls do look soft, it looked and handled a lot better with 35 in. There was a thread a long while ago discussing the possible fitment of commercial (stiffer walls) tyres to eliminate the possibility of snaking. must look back and see what the outcome was. (been very busy lately and not on the forum much, hard at work on the restoration of the Roadster)
I've just done my Pathfinder tyres at 36 - the lower pressure is for 140km/h running instead of 100km/h (so 36 is right for this country). They still look a bit soft to me!
Howard - any further comments? Are the later Pathfinders equipped with different tyres? Just wondering about the figure you gave of 45psi; AFAIK the later units are roughly the same weight, aren't they?

Mine is a 2008 model and i have mine at 50psi, and it reccomends from 2007 pressure is 45/55 psi and 1998 to 2006 33/36 psi tyre info states pathfinder 1998 to2006 tyre size 165R1382 and 2006 onwards 165R1389 what these all mean i dont know but this info is out of the pennine manual , hope this clears it up
Thanks John - I thought it would be something like that - it had to be tyre spec, given the units are virtually unchanged.
So 36 it is for us then.
