Steering wheel cover's?
 
It could be just me, but I'm not finding my steering wheel to be all that comfortable anymore. Even on short trips, my finger meat aches & my knuckles groan. I suppose it could due to my driving environment (Atlanta's interesting mix of drivers rarely allows for a relaxed hand), but the wheel does seem to be a tad bit too hard anyway. Slick too if I get sweatin pretty good.

I guess I was curious to know what you guys use for wraps (if you do) and where can I find them. Also curious to know if they're Maxima wheel specific or will fit any wheel.


Your input is much appreciated. Thanks.

I use one of those things from pep boys and frankly it pisses me off that they last a few months then I have to buy a new one. If anyone has any suggestions for a good stearing wheel cover I would appreciate it too.

has anyone removed their oem steering wheel? i just bought a used one for my 97 and was wondering how difficult it was and if removing the negative side of the battery was all i needed to do to ensure the airbag doesn't come out. thanks

I've got a wheelskins.com one & I love it. I put it right over the original leather. Takes a while to install but it's great.

I would get a haynes manual or something. I have perused that chapter and it looks like the steering wheel is tough to take out. Once I had to disable the passenger's airbag. There is a procedue to do it, I dont have my manual in front of me so I can't tell you...but I would check before messing with the airbag.

I usually just buy one of the ones from Autozone. They're cheap and they make the wheel feel thicker so more comfortable, they're ribbed too so the ladies always like that :naughty:

Seriously though, they do give the wheel more grip and are alot more comfortable.
