The 2001 Nissan Maxima comes with P215/55R16 tires installed. This might sound complicated, but it's actually pretty simple once you break it down. The first number, 215, represents the width of the tire tread in millimeters. The second number, 55, is the height of the tire's sidewall in millimeters. The third number, 16, indicates the size of the rim in inches. So, your car originally came with 16-inch rims. Nissan suggests maintaining a tire pressure of 32psi in each tire for optimal braking performance. Keeping your tires properly inflated not only improves performance but also extends their lifespan. Tires that are under or overinflated will wear out unevenly compared to those maintained at the correct pressure.
The 2001 Nissan Maxima's front tires should be inflated to 32 pounds per square inch (psi) while the rear tires should be inflated to 29 psi. Both the front and rear tires are of size P215/55R16, fitted onto standard 16-inch silver aluminum wheels for the 2001 Nissan Maxima.
Do you remember the recall for the right control arm?
