I cant believe all this about wrong rear tire 100% It could be true but i have an 03 touring and my VDC/slip/brake light come on and stay on and i have stock rims/tires.

My brake pads are getting low and someone stated something about a brake fluid sensor dont know if its true but in my case im leaning that direction.

Just my 2 cents.

I also agree with your statement partly... I plan to check my pads this weekend and the company that I bought my rims and tires from are hell bent on the fact that they did in fact send me the right tire sizes.

i had the 03 tour model and had the same problem it came with the feathering recall. you need to have your wheels aligned all the way around. its funny when that happened to me i had about 29k on my 03 z and my fronts look fine from the curb but when i had it on a lift at work they were bald as costanza. at first it came and went but the worst they get more worn. when i bought new tires with my recall check and got the alignment the light never came again. and i was rolling stock rubbers.

also as a side note that... serv tech at my dealership came from nissan and told me that the reason for this was when cars were built in japan. then shipped. somewhere in the process they attach tie-downs frame of the car so tight they throw off the alignment. from that came feathering recall. check the inside of your front tires.

They're full of sh*t. Who is the company out of curiosity?

Discount Tire for example, has the proper staggered fitment parameters in their computer specifically for this reason. Even their website indicates the rear tire should be 275/35 for 19" size.

lol they are full of sh*t but it was wheelsdirectonline.com but just to let you all know I replaced my front break pads and the lights stopped going off. I will still change my rear tires but to let the 50/50 debate about my lights between tires and brakes, it was the brakes that caused them to go off! thanks again guys!!!

So it was simply that your brake pads were worn? ...and you didn't know that?

I guess that one should never assume anything when posting to a thread.

i had a feeling that they were worn, but when everybody started to say the tires it made me wonder... I'm just glad the light stopped turning on!
