Behind on maintenance

Hello to all. I have been ill the last two years and have not really maintained my vehicle lately and wondering what you knowledgeable souls can advise me on. I have been suffering from dioxin poisoning. Anyway, I have a 2007 xterra s, 4wd, auto, purchased in march of 2007, so it will be six years old this march. The vehicle is approaching 30,000 miles, and though originally intended for traveling some off roads to summer house in upstate new york, during winter times, it was never used for this purpose. I have original tires, original front brakes(rear pads were replaced) have done oil changes about every 4 months, new wiper blades every year, cabin filter about 3 times. I plan on buying 4 new tires for it(tires still have tread, but it can use a new set) What do you suggest I do. Never changed trannie fluid(I check it about 3 times a year), radiator fluid or anything. Just the maintenance I have stated. Also, alignment still seems perfect. Do I need to do one, when purchasing new tires. I plan on driving this vehicle about 8000 miles a year, as I am getting rid of my other vehicle, to one of my children, and this will become my primary. I am having no problems with the vehicle.
Thanks to all, and sorry for the wordy post. Much regards Roger

Thank you Master. Semper Fidelis
Thank you for responding to my post. So to summarize, to make sure I have it correct.
1) Transmission fluid change 2) Check brake fluid for moisture content 3) Radiator Fluid Change out.
Question on tires. I plan on replacing oem tires with some different tires. How good would an alignment be at a place say like Mavis, as opposed to Nissan itself. If I remember correctly the x has some sort of "offset" alignment on it, and not a straight ahead alignment. I might be wrong. And if you recommend alignment at a nissan dealer, will they install the tires, or should I have the tires installed and then go for the alignment. Does that make any difference???
Do I need to mess with the differential fluids at this point??
Thanks Much regards Roger
