2022 Nissan Titan — Tire Size & Pressure Specs

Quick answer

• OEM tire sizes (most common):
  • Titan S, SV: P265/70R18
  • Titan PRO-4X: P275/65R18 (all-terrain)
  • Titan Platinum Reserve: P275/60R20
  • Titan XD (heavy-duty variant): LT265/70R18 E; optional LT275/60R20 E
• Recommended cold tire pressure (door placard):
  • Titan (P-metric tires): typically 35 psi front / 35 psi rear
  • Titan XD (LT Load Range E): commonly 60–65 psi front/rear depending trim/tire; always follow the door placard
• Bolt pattern: 6x139.7 mm (6x5.5")
• Wheel size and offset: 18x8J or 20x8J; OEM offset ~ +25 mm (typical range +18 to +30 mm)
• Load index / speed rating (OE): generally LI 112–117, speed S–T (varies by trim/tire)
• Spare tire: Full-size steel spare, commonly 265/70R18 (LT265/70R18 E on XD). Some 20" packages use an 18" spare with matching overall diameter
• TPMS sensor frequency: Usually 433 MHz on 2020–2022 Titans; some markets/parts may use 315 MHz—verify by VIN or sensor PN

Tire sizes by trim

Note: Exact tire brand, load index, and speed rating can vary by factory package; consult your door placard and owner’s manual.

Recommended replacement tires

• Budget (highway all-season, P-metric):
  • Kumho Crugen HT51 — dependable highway manners and long tread life
  • General Grabber HTS60 — good value, solid wet traction
• Mid-range (all-season/AT, P-metric or LT where available):
  • Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S (P-metric) — mild all-terrain with strong snow/wet grip
  • Falken WildPeak A/T3W (P-metric or LT E) — excellent off-road bite and winter rating
• Premium (touring or rugged LT for XD):
  • Michelin Defender LTX M/S (P-metric and LT E) — top-tier comfort, longevity, and towing stability
  • BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (LT E) — proven durability for PRO-4X/XD use
  • Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 (P-metric and LT) — balanced on/off-road capability

Choose P-metric tires for standard Titan ride comfort and everyday hauling; select LT Load Range E options for frequent towing/hauling or for Titan XD.

When to inflate to max load psi (HD trucks only)

This applies to Titan XD with LT Load Range E tires. The sidewall “max” (often 80 psi) is the tire’s maximum pressure at its rated load—not the normal setting. Use door-placard pressures (commonly 60–65 psi F/R) for typical driving. Consider increasing toward the sidewall max only when:

• You’re towing or hauling near the GVWR/GAWR listed on the door sticker
• You need additional rear axle capacity support and the wheels are rated for the higher psi

Tips:

• Never exceed the wheel’s maximum psi rating
• Adjust pressures based on axle load—often the rear needs more psi when towing
• After the heavy load is removed, return to placard pressures for ride, traction, and wear

Lug nut torque & pattern

• Lug pattern: 6 lugs on 139.7 mm circle (6x5.5")
• Torque: 98 lb-ft (133 N·m) for OEM studs and wheels; re-torque after 50–100 miles following any wheel service
• Tightening: Use a star pattern across the 6 lugs for even clamping

Common tire issues for this vehicle

• Uneven wear if rotations are skipped: The Titan’s torque and weight can feather or cup front tires without 5–7.5k mile rotations
• Overinflation on XD: Running LT E tires at or near 80 psi when unloaded causes harsh ride, center wear, and reduced wet traction—use the placard
• PRO-4X cupping/noise: Aggressive AT tread can develop heel-toe wear; keep alignment in spec and rotate on schedule
• TPMS relearn: After tire rotation or sensor replacement, some Titans require a brief drive cycle to clear TPMS warnings; verify sensor frequency (often 433 MHz)
• 20" wheel vulnerability: Lower sidewall height on 275/60R20 can increase risk of rim damage on potholes—mind pressures and avoid impacts
