    Nissan X-Trail 2003: When should I replace its wheels?

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan X-TRAIL Nissan X-TRAIL Advice Nissan X-TRAIL 2003

    I've just had my 2003 Nissan X-Trail serviced by my garage, which they do every six months. It has done 120,000km. They said my tyres are now getting a bit hard and should be replaced, even though there is plenty of tread left. I had two fitted in February 2008 at 66,000km, the next two at 83,000km in April 2010. I retired in July 2011 so we don't do the kilometres we used to. My question is, at what stage do they start going "off" and do they get to the stage where they are dangerous?

    So long as you are still driving the car regularly, and it looks as if you're covering more than 5000km a year, the tyres should be fine down to the tread-wear indicators. They are not sticky high-performance tyres or special soft-compound winter tyres that need special treatment.
