: New Armada owner from Ft. Sill midnightmirror 12-17-2009, 08:26 AM I just bought a 2008 LE Armada 11 Dec, so far I like it I traded in a 2006 Magnum R/T. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't automatically lock the doors when you start driving. Also I'm thinking about putting some 24's on the truck but I don't know how much of a difference they will make or if they will last or be safe on long trips. Dirty Cash 12-17-2009, 09:36 AM Welcome midnight! Good to see another Uniform in the group (I have to assume you're USA...I'm USAF...go ahead, insert your AF jokes here). Not sure if you are stuck on 24's, but Tire Rack has 22's on sale for as low as $69 each! Depending of course on the style: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resultsA.jsp?&autoMake=Nissan&autoModel=Armada+LE&autoYear=2008&autoModClar=&filterSize=All&filterFinish=All&filterSpecial=false&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Price&sort=Price NissanWarranty 12-17-2009, 11:35 AM Welcome to Club Armada. _______________ Your Nissan Factory Warranty (http://www.vadennissanwarranty.com/nissan-factory-warranty.html) gives you basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles on your Nissan.

If you add an aftermarket alarm you can program your doorlocks to lock automatically. Really big wheels make for a more harsh ride, most around here are going with 22", personally I opted for 20's, which ride great.

I actually miss it, well mostly the AFSC I use to have but the Army made me grow up alot though. I appreciate all the warm jesters and will take into consideration about the ride quality. The truck actually belongs to my wife but I just want it to look good when she drives it. I was only going with the 24's because everyone in my unit has 24's and were telling me it didn't change any much but I wanted to hear it from some fellow Armada owners. fortyb 12-22-2009, 12:10 PM Stick with 22 with a tire size of 305-45-22 that will give you a very good ride compared to 24 and if your wife is driving and decides to take out every curve on post it's best to have the thicker tire to protect your wheels. 24 use a 305-35-24 size tire which would leave you with road rash on your wheels. Just my opinion. BlakSpyda 12-22-2009, 01:45 PM Welcome to CA fortyb! You are 100% correct. fortyb 12-22-2009, 01:53 PM Thanks the reason i know this is because i had 22 on my wife's 06 sequioa and they protected the wheels very well and now i have the same wheels on my 2010 armada i'm lovin that both suv's had the same bolt pattern i did not fell like selling theses and spending more money. I will post pics when i get home.Welcome to CA fortyb!
