its sticking out of the passenger rear, towards the outer edge....in pretty firm. Dont want to risk yanking it out, just in case the tire goes flat....what do you think-take it to the tire store and get a new rear set of Michelin pilot A/S?...I have about 14,000 miles on the rear REO40S.
I dont particulary wan to replace just the one tire, and Iknow that its going to be difficult to get one RE40-there not easy to find in stock anywhere....so, I rekon its a good excuse to get a new set?....

 

go for it, they are probably about done at 14000 anyway

 

OK...I am just going to get a new set of rears, cos I just got new reo40's on the front free from nissan-tire feathering..they seem to be wearing just fine..for now anyway...

 

2003z...any thoughts of having a different rear set to the fronts?........I don't think it would be an issue?..

 

The Michelins have tons more grip. I could not be more happy with mine. No comment on not matching front to rear, but I predict that once you get the Michelins on the rear you will want them on the front. Great tires.

Oh, and shop around on the net before you go to a tire store. www.tirerack.com saved me about $60.00 a tire compared to what my dealership wanted. Nissan replaced my fronts with the Michelins for free, so I had the dealership quote me a price for the rears. JOKE!
