    What brand of tire came with your Micra S

    I just had my seasonal tires put on today, so I saw them for the first time. Curious to hear what tires came with your S model, nothing upgraded. These are Firestone FR710 185/60

    Thanks. That ends this thread.

    One last hurrah - a decent couple alerted me that my hub cap came off while stopped at a red, after attempts to tell me on my passenger side (no power window on my car) while driving. I drove up and down the street a few times and finally found it, someone put it on the left turn median. Called the dealer to let them know, as it was just yesterday it was put on by them with the seasonal tires.

    Since this has happened, I took a good look at the others and saw this; how could they have missed this:

    Get yourself some grey/silver cable ties or zip ties I think you guys call them? I put them on every car I work on that has hub caps. Also mine came with 2x Dunlop and 2x Bridgestone, got it at a year old so don't know which were original?

    I bought white zip ties, a few weeks ago and even with only 2 on each hub cap, it looked so.....tacky! I may still....

    This is odd. I take third gear 90 degree corners and have never had one come off. Were your hubcaps put on after your lug nuts? There is a reason for the little shoulder on the lug nuts and that is to secure the hubcaps.

    I started a thread a while back when I lost the hub cap right after Nissan switched the snows to seasonal tires. The guy noticed the thin ring inside the hub cap was not on the outside of the clips, along with the one in the photo posted above. If the shoulder on the lug nuts as you mentioned was on, this shouldn't have happened, despite the placement of the plastic ring?
