Hello to all and thank you for this great forum.
I'm now the proudly guardian of a 1992 P10 1.6 Hatchback, that was bought new by my father and never left the family. I'm now preparing to make a full restoration of the car and have some questions regarding its wheels that I hope one of there forum several "Suntherland" specialists from the early days can answer (and yes, the car still has the "OK Sutherland sticker" on the passenger side rear window): 1. The car was sold new with 14" aluminum wheels (5-braces, central cover with allen-key bolt) that have the Nissan logo and "NISSAN by Fondmetal" text casted. Would this be wheels fitted in the paint, or where just an optional OEM wheels installed at the dealers? 2. If any 14" wheels were part of the factory equipment of a 1992 1.6 P10 (or a 2.0), which tyres would it leave the plant with (brand/model/dimension)? The current set of tyres are 195/60R14 from Continental, but with 160.000 km and looking at the files, I estimate its the 6th set of tyres, and the majority of its life was running Goodyear's! Thank in in advance for any info on this subject you be able to provide me.

Welcome along.
The guy who could answer these best is the P10 guru Sprint. What he doesn't know about P10's isn't worth knowing |

The tires in 90, 91 and I think 1992 too, were:
165/70/13T Continental Contact.(L,LS,LX,SLX,LSX 1.6/Diesel) 185/65/14H Continental Super Contact.(SLX,GSX 2.0 Singlepoint) 195/60/14V Michelin MXV2. (eGT) The alloys you have were always optional, they were offered in two colour versions. The more common in 100% silver and the super rare two tone gunmetal + silver. I can scan brochures or tell you part numbers if u need them Cheers |

My 1991 GSX came from the factory with 195/60/R14 rims using Michelin MX2 tyres (I still have the completely unused spare!)

Well I think I might found the answer, Chris.
Please take a look at this UKDM brochure, when in the main graphics there is advetised a 185/65/14 tire for the SGX, at the top of the page, in a small sticker, Nissan announced a 195/60/14 for that spec...never noticed that until I was thinking about your comment yesterday night. |

Good evening Schwen,
Thanks a lot for the info. I really wanted it just to make sure that these were not an "seller" updating to non period Primera P10 set of wheels, and make sure are worth the full restauration. Thanks a lot also for the tyres info. Since I now will need to put 4 new ones, your info is very useful to try to find the right ones. 185/65/14H Continental Super Contact fit exactly to the description my father told that was made when he bought the car: despite being a 1.6 SLX, the wheels are the 14" from the 2.0 SLX (non eGT). Info for record of the part numbers, and scan of wheel brochure would be great! But no urgency of any kind. Cheers,

GREAT.
Thanks a lot for the info. I was looking at the Portuguese homologation document, and it really states there 195/60R14. Then went to the car to check it, and that's the tires size he has mounted... On your catalogue, my wheels are the ones on the top left corner. Fully silver. No question. (I remember in my youth of seeing the rare Antracite ones in my town, but in a same period Nissan 100NX, also red like mine!) Cheers,
