Questions

What size tires does a 2016 Nissan Maxima have?

The 2016 Nissan Maxima came with 245/45R18 or 245/40R19 tires, depending on the trim and wheel size.

Which size is on my 2016 Nissan Maxima?

Look at the sidewall of one of your tires: the size is the code that looks like 245/45R18. The label on the driver's door jamb also lists the original size and pressure for your exact trim.

What tire pressure does a 2016 Nissan Maxima need?

The manual gives 33 psi, measured with the tires cold. Check it before driving, and go by the door-jamb label if it differs, because that is set for your exact car.

Can I fit a different tire size on my 2016 Nissan Maxima?

Stick to a factory size for your wheel unless a tire shop confirms the swap. A different overall diameter changes speedometer readings and can upset ABS and stability control, and the load index must be at least the original.
