What is a "counter balanced tire?" Nissan had to replace my original tires. It took them 22,000 miles to figure out the tires were defective. Wayne sims a service advisor at peltier, kept speaking of counter balanced tires, I have never heard of this. With this Firestone scare, I'm afraid there are other sizes that have a problem and Nissan knows about it. With only 2000 characters, I can't type everything I need to..( dot number: W2vf tire size: P215/65R15 )
