2019 Nissan Vans Tire Fitment Guide

2019 Nissan Vans represented Nissan’s full-size work-van lineup at a time when buyers still wanted traditional body-on-frame utility, familiar serviceability, and strong payload-focused packaging. The NV1500, NV2500, and NV3500 all served different commercial roles, but tire choice stays fairly straightforward once you know which model you have. Across the 2019 Nissan Vans range, three models use two radial sizes, with 245/70R17 shared across the lineup and 245/75R17 reserved for certain NV3500 applications. That means the first thing to confirm is your exact model, and for the NV3500, the specific size already on the van before you move on to choosing the right tire.

Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2019 Nissan Vans

Two tire sizes are used across 2019 Nissan Vans, and they are not universal to every model. The main decision is confirming whether your van uses the shared 245/70R17 size or the NV3500-specific 245/75R17, since both are radial tires and both mount on 17-inch wheels. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps you match the tire to the correct van and wheel setup.

245/75R17 is a metric radial size with a 245-millimeter section width, a stated 75-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 17-inch wheel. This size is available from BFGoodrich with an RWL sidewall, an S speed rating up to 112 mph, and a load rating of 3,195 pounds at 80 psi. Because it is specific to the 2019 Nissan Vans NV3500 rather than the full model range, it should be chosen only after confirming that your NV3500 was equipped for this size and that the wheel matches the intended fitment.

Both sizes use a 17-inch wheel, so cross-model compatibility starts with rim diameter, then moves to confirming the wheel's approved width range for the size you intend to run.

2019 Nissan Vans Models

Three 2019 Nissan Vans models are covered here. Tire size does vary by model, since the NV1500 and NV2500 use 245/70R17 while the NV3500 can use either 245/70R17 or 245/75R17 depending on configuration. Select your model below to narrow the fitment history and see the tire options that apply to your van.

2019 Nissan Vans NV1500

The NV1500 was the lightest-duty member of Nissan’s full-size van range, aimed at cargo and service use where maneuverability and everyday utility mattered more than maximum capacity. Its tires mount on 17-inch wheels, and the fitment path stays simple because this model uses only one size.

Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs cover the two radial sizes used across 2019 Nissan Vans, how NV3500 fitment differs from NV1500 and NV2500, what the size codes mean, and what to check for highway use, storage, and longer service intervals.

Size Basics & Fitment

What tire sizes fit 2019 Nissan Vans vehicles?

2019 Nissan Vans use two tire sizes: 245/70R17 and 245/75R17. The 245/70R17 fits the NV1500, NV2500, and NV3500, while the 245/75R17 is used on the NV3500 only. Both sizes mount on 17-inch wheels. For the available products in these sizes, 245/70R17 fits rim widths from 6.5 to 8.0 inches, and 245/75R17 fits rim widths from 6.5 to 7.5 inches.

That makes year and make alone only part of the answer for a 2019 Nissan Vans purchase. If you have an NV1500 or NV2500, the size path is straightforward. If you have an NV3500, check the tire size currently on the van, the door-jamb information, and the actual wheel before moving ahead. Matching the 17-inch rim diameter is only the first step; the tire also needs to fall within the correct rim-width range for the size you plan to use.

What does 245/70R17 mean on a 2019 Nissan Vans tire?

On a 2019 Nissan Vans tire, 245/70R17 means the tire is 245 millimeters wide, uses a 70-series aspect ratio, and is built in radial construction for a 17-inch wheel. In the available 245/70R17 option, the speed rating is S, which carries a maximum speed capability of 112 mph, and the load rating is 3,000 pounds at 80 psi.

For a 2019 Nissan Vans owner, that code matters because it defines the overall category of tire the van was built around, not just the wheel diameter. A 245/70R17 is the shared size across the full Nissan van lineup for 2019, so it is often the first size buyers encounter. Even so, the right next step is to confirm that your wheel width falls within the approved 6.5-to-8.0-inch range before treating it as a direct replacement.

Do all 2019 Nissan Vans models use the same tire size?

No, not all 2019 Nissan Vans models use the same tire size. The NV1500 and NV2500 use 245/70R17, while the NV3500 appears with either 245/70R17 or 245/75R17. Both are radial 17-inch sizes, but they are not interchangeable by assumption just because the wheel diameter matches.

That distinction is most important for NV3500 owners, because the heavier-duty van can appear with either size depending on configuration. If you are comparing tires across the full 2019 Nissan Vans range, start with the model name, then verify the size already installed and the wheel width. That avoids ordering a tire that technically fits a 17-inch rim but does not match the intended section and profile for your van.

Buying the Right Tire

Should I choose 245/70R17 or 245/75R17 for my 2019 Nissan Vans?

For 2019 Nissan Vans, the choice between 245/70R17 and 245/75R17 is mainly a fitment question, not a bias-ply-versus-radial decision, because both available sizes are radial. The 245/70R17 is the shared size across NV1500, NV2500, and some NV3500 applications, while the 245/75R17 belongs only to certain NV3500 setups. Each size also has its own approved rim-width range, even though both use 17-inch wheels.

A buyer with an NV1500 or NV2500 should stay with 245/70R17 unless the van has been intentionally reconfigured. A buyer with an NV3500 should confirm the existing tire size, wheel width, and factory placard before deciding. Since the available tires in both sizes come from the same BFGoodrich all-terrain family, the real difference is selecting the correct fitment for the van rather than choosing between two different construction philosophies.

What sidewall styles are available for 2019 Nissan Vans tires?

2019 Nissan Vans tires in both available sizes use an RWL sidewall style, meaning raised white letters. The available 245/70R17 and 245/75R17 options both come from the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 line, and both carry that same sidewall presentation rather than a blackwall or wide whitewall treatment.

For a modern full-size van such as 2019 Nissan Vans, an RWL all-terrain sidewall fits the period and product character better than a restoration-style appearance tire would. The practical question is whether you want that visual look on the van, since sidewall styling is part of the finished appearance even when the fitment is otherwise correct. If appearance matters, compare the white-letter presentation on the van you are building or maintaining before making your final choice.

What brands make tires for 2019 Nissan Vans vehicles?

BFGoodrich covers the available tire sizes for 2019 Nissan Vans. The 245/70R17 is offered as a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, and the 245/75R17 is also offered as a BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2. Both are radial, load-range-E light-truck style tires built around a 17-inch wheel fitment.

That keeps brand selection simple, but it does not remove the need to confirm size carefully. A single brand across both sizes means the bigger decision is matching your van’s exact fitment and intended use rather than sorting through a wide range of manufacturer philosophies. If you own an NV3500, start by confirming whether the van uses the shared 245/70R17 size or the NV3500-specific 245/75R17 before comparing anything else.

Fitting & Setup

What rim width do 2019 Nissan Vans tires require?

2019 Nissan Vans tire requirements differ slightly by size. The 245/70R17 fits wheels from 6.5 to 8.0 inches wide, while the 245/75R17 fits wheels from 6.5 to 7.5 inches wide. Both sizes are built for 17-inch rim diameter, but wheel width still matters because it affects how the tire sits, carries load, and maintains its intended profile.

That means a 17-inch wheel alone is not enough information when replacing tires on a 2019 Nissan Vans model. Measure the wheel or confirm its stamped specification before moving from one size to another, especially on an NV3500. A tire that matches the rim diameter but falls outside the approved width range can compromise fitment quality, so width should be verified before treating two 17-inch sizes as interchangeable.

Do 2019 Nissan Vans tires require inner tubes?

The available 2019 Nissan Vans tires do not indicate tube-type markings. The offered 245/70R17 and 245/75R17 products are modern radial light-truck tires with contemporary sizing and load-range construction, which places them in the tubeless category rather than the tube-type collector and antique tire world.

Even so, a tubeless tire still depends on the wheel being in sound condition and the valve stem being correct for the application. If your van has aftermarket wheels, wheels that have seen hard commercial use, or any prior repairs at the bead seat, inspect them before mounting a new tire. Tire selection and wheel condition work together, so it is worth treating the wheel as part of the fitment decision rather than as a separate issue.

Can the original 2019 Nissan Vans wheels be used with both tire sizes?

Original 2019 Nissan Vans wheels can potentially be used with both tire sizes only if the wheel is a 17-inch rim and falls within the approved width range for the size you want to run. The 245/70R17 works on 6.5-to-8.0-inch rims, while the 245/75R17 works on 6.5-to-7.5-inch rims. Shared diameter does not automatically mean shared fitment across all wheels.

That matters most on the NV3500, where both sizes appear within the same model family. If your van already has the factory wheel and size combination, staying with that setup is usually the cleanest path. If you are changing sizes, confirm the wheel width first and then verify that the van’s intended use still aligns with the replacement size. Doing that check up front is easier than correcting a mismatch after the tires are mounted.

Maintenance, Storage & Longevity

How should I store a 2019 Nissan Vans when the tires are fitted?

A 2019 Nissan Vans should be stored with the tires clean, properly inflated, and protected from direct sunlight, standing moisture, and ozone sources such as electric motors, welders, or compressors. Because both available sizes are modern radial tires, they generally tolerate normal storage better than vintage bias-ply tires, but long static periods can still create flat spotting and accelerate aging if the van sits under load in poor conditions.

For a van that spends long periods parked, move it periodically or place it on stands if appropriate for your storage plan and safety practices. Keep the tires off contaminated concrete when possible, and avoid storing the van with one tire pressed against debris or a sharp edge. Good storage habits matter just as much for a low-mileage commercial or recreational van as they do for a collector car, because age and environment can degrade rubber even when tread wear is minimal.

How long do tires on a 2019 Nissan Vans typically last?

Tires on a 2019 Nissan Vans should be judged by age and condition as much as by remaining tread. A sound rule is to inspect them closely once they reach about five to seven years of service and to treat ten years as a point where replacement deserves serious consideration, even if the van is driven sparingly. The DOT date code on the sidewall is the best starting point for determining actual tire age.

That approach matters because many vans live easy-looking lives with low annual mileage, yet still see heavy loads, long idle periods, sun exposure, and infrequent maintenance. A tire can look acceptable at a glance and still be too old for dependable use. If your 2019 Nissan Vans is used for road trips, cargo work, or family transport, checking age before the next long outing is usually more important than trying to judge the tire by tread depth alone.

How often should tires on a 2019 Nissan Vans be inspected?

Tires on a 2019 Nissan Vans should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer highway trip. Look for sidewall cracking, cuts, punctures, uneven wear, embedded debris, bulges, and pressure loss. Since the available tires are load-range-E light-truck radials, pressure condition is especially important because underinflation can affect stability, wear, and carrying capability more quickly than many owners expect.

A quick visual check in the driveway catches more problems than most owners realize, especially on vans that sit for stretches and then return to duty. Add a deeper inspection at regular service intervals, including tread depth across the tire, valve stem condition, and any signs that alignment or suspension issues are showing up through uneven wear. Making inspection routine is one of the simplest ways to protect both the tire investment and the van’s road manners.

Safety & Road Use

Are 2019 Nissan Vans tires safe for highway driving?

The available 2019 Nissan Vans tires carry an S speed rating, which corresponds to a maximum speed capability of 112 mph. That rating applies to both the 245/70R17 119S and the 245/75R17 121S offerings. In normal highway use, those speed ratings are well above typical interstate speeds, provided the tires are in good condition and are inflated and loaded correctly.

Highway safety in a full-size van still depends on more than the speed symbol on the sidewall. Load, pressure, suspension condition, braking condition, and how the van is packed all play a major role in how stable and predictable it feels at speed. On a 2019 Nissan Vans model used for cargo or passenger hauling, the smartest approach is to treat the tire as one part of a complete highway-readiness check rather than as the only safety factor.

What inflation pressure should I use for 2019 Nissan Vans tires?

The available 245/70R17 tire is rated for 3,000 pounds at 80 psi, and the available 245/75R17 tire is rated for 3,195 pounds at 80 psi. Those figures identify each tire’s maximum rated load at its maximum rated pressure, not necessarily the everyday operating pressure your specific 2019 Nissan Vans should use. Factory pressure recommendations belong to the van’s original placard or owner’s manual.

Use the vehicle recommendation as your baseline, then make sure the tire you choose is appropriate for the load your van actually carries. Do not transfer one size’s pressure assumptions to the other size just because both are 17-inch radials. If your NV3500 regularly hauls weight or your van’s use has changed from stock service, reviewing both the vehicle guidance and the tire manufacturer’s rating is the best way to avoid underinflation or overinflation.

What should I check before taking a 2019 Nissan Vans on a longer drive?

Before a longer drive in a 2019 Nissan Vans, inspect the tires for cracking, cuts, punctures, abnormal wear, tread depth issues, and any visible bulging. Confirm cold inflation pressure, check that the valve stems are sound, and inspect the spare as carefully as the four road tires. Since these vans often carry meaningful loads, also make sure the tire size on the van matches the intended wheel and application.

A longer trip is also the right time to think beyond the tires themselves. Wheel lug torque, alignment symptoms, steering feel, brake condition, and suspension wear all affect how the van behaves at speed, especially when loaded. Tire condition may be the first thing you see, but the full pre-trip check should treat the 2019 Nissan Vans as a working vehicle whose tires, chassis, and cargo demands all interact once the miles start adding up.
