usual is 245/45/18

 

some fit 245/40/18 as there is more options and cheaper, but some have experienced TCS issues but some haven't, seems to dpend on the car and the tyre chosen.

 

as for wider and lower, use a tyre calculator and see how close you can get, personally i'd stick with what nissan specified.

I run 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 on my summer tyres (off my BMW) car sits lower so speed bumps are a problem if they catch u out.

 

My winter set are 235/50/18 all round, my zed looks a bit 4x4 ish. (got 4x Bridge stone blizaks for 100 quid with less than 50 miles, so couldn't resist trying them for the winter)

 

I have no problem with tc (I have a 53 UK gt, if it helps)

oops forgot the fronts were 225/45/18 but again others sometimes use 225/40/18

 

When you say others I think he means me :lol:

 

running 40 on front on back reduces weight, gets rid of the balloon tyre look, better turn in, less sidewall distortion, better range of tyres and cheaper tyres.
