Vehicle model
Nissan Gamme Nissan - utilitaires ou VUS
Nissan's truck and SUV lineup is one of the brand's pillars in North America. It ranges from the subcompact Kicks to the compact Rogue, the brand's best-seller, and includes the Murano (mid-size two-row crossover redesigned in 2025), the Pathfinder (mid-size three-row SUV oriented toward capacity and towing), and the Armada (large body-on-frame SUV). The mid-size Frontier pickup is also part of the lineup. These vehicles target families and buyers seeking space, a raised driving position, and four-season versatility, often with available all-wheel drive. Several are assembled at the Smyrna and Canton plants. In Quebec, they are natural candidates for all-wheel drive and suitable winter tires: these models typically mount 17- to 20-inch wheels, and a second winter set, sometimes on smaller-diameter steel wheels, is strongly recommended.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
La gamme Nissan couvre une large plage de dimensions. Les berlines compactes et sous-compactes (Versa, Sentra) roulent généralement sur des jantes de 15 à 17 pouces, l'Altima sur 16 à 19 pouces, tandis que les multisegments et VUS (Kicks, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Ariya) montent souvent en 17 à 20 pouces. La camionnette Frontier utilise des roues de plus grand diamètre. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) varie selon le modèle et le poids du véhicule; il faut toujours valider le diamètre, l'entraxe et le déport propres à la version. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires : prévoir un second train, parfois sur jantes en acier de diamètre plus petit pour réduire le coût et protéger les jantes d'origine.
