Hello.  My wifes Nissan Quest was pulling hard to the right, vibrating and popping when you turn the wheel to either side.  I checked the tire pressure and the passenger had 65 psi and the diver 60.  I think she might have accidentally overfilled.  She said she filled the tires 2 months ago.  I deflated to the appropriate 35 psi.  Do you think the tires are warped?  Why does it click and pop?  Thanks for the help.

thats enough pressure to separate the steel belts from the casing and tread..

do not drive the car on the freeway until you take the car to a professional tire shop...

have them inspect the tires...  tell them they were over inflated..  



be sure to teach your wife how to properly inflate tires..



new tires are far far cheeper than the damage done when they separate and tear the car apart or cause a crash...

Thanks.  I usually check pressures.  Not this time though.  Appreciate the advice.

Although you are the only one hearing the noise coming from the car the description you give makes it sound more like a CV joint thats on its way out. Have a shop take a look at them asap.  CV joint seperation at speed is not a good thing!  Tires are pretty forgiving even when overinflated.
