FAQ
What tire size does a Nissan Frontier use?
It depends on year and trim. Common sizes are 265/70R16, 265/75R16, 265/60R18 and 265/70R17. Check the door-jamb sticker.
Do 235/75R15 tires fit a 2020 Frontier?
Only older King Cab S and XE trims used that size, up to 2019.
Are all-terrain tires good on a Frontier?
They add traction on dirt, gravel and snow but are usually louder on pavement than highway tires.
What does LT mean on a tire?
Light Truck. LT tires are built for heavier loads than passenger or P-metric tires.
How often should I rotate Frontier tires?
Follow your owner’s manual. Many shops suggest about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
When should I replace Frontier tires?
When tread reaches 2/32 inch, or sooner if the tires are cracked or older than about six years.
Which one to choose
For the common 16-inch S, SE and SV trims, the Evoluxx, Travelstar and Crosswind 265/70R16 listings match. For 18-inch SL and LE trucks, the Falken Wildpeak HT02 265/60R18 matches. The three 235/75R15 listings suit only older King Cab XE and S trucks.
