jo28sx Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi guys I recently put new alloys on my Zed and the traction control is kicking in nearly all the time. I called Nissan and they said theres nothen i can do except turn off the traction control but dont want to do that, it was 17" wheels on as standard and now i've only went up to 18". Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know of a way to solve my problem? Thanks lads Jo28sx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 +1 as above +2 need more details. Its quite common for people to select the wrong tyre sizes when fitting them up to a Zed. There is a different radius of tyre from front to rear and some people dont know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 You're 2% undersized on the front and 5% undersized on the back. Switch to the stock 225/45/18F and 245/45/18R and it should sort itself out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo28sx Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 just called them and he said they will call me back tomorrow and not to worry they wont leave me with tyres that are no use for the car but i can see he's probably going to try and get out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
