Whether Nixon could use executive privilege to withhold the tapes.
The Supreme Court held (418 U.S. 683 (1974)) that executive privilege is not absolute and Nixon must produce the subpoenaed tapes in the criminal proceeding. The Court did not decide what Nixon knew and when, nor whether he had illegally erased some tapes — those factual questions were for the lower courts/trial.
