Michelin's on my Altima that I just installed last week. Pretty good so far. (should be for nearly $1000)!

I have them right now (michelin pilot sprts) and I am not too impressed with them. I spent just about that much as well.

Michelin Primacy MXV4 - they are very quiet - hushed - handle well and are all season . . . great all around tire

BTW they handle and ride much better than dunlops I had previously

I went from the stock Conti's to the Pilot sport's so I'm probably easily impressed!

I have Yokohama Prada Spec X on my Armada. The best tire I've ever owned (3rd set) but they're really too soft for such a big SUV. They're only lasting me about 25k.

Michelin pilot sports were fine until may be 20k miles but then it became noisy that I may get rid off them way earlier. However treads are looking not that bad after 20k miles on them. May be it's just me and perhaps other maxima owners have had good experience with them.

I am running the Michelin Hydroedges and they have been great tires.

Had Firestone Firehawks but they only lasted a year. Have about 5k on the BFGoodrich Adantage T/A's. Had to have a touring tire for the mileage. They are decent so far.

Hankook Ventus V12s. Great summer tire, but they will thump a bit when you let them sit and they get less sticky below 50F.

I've also had the Avons and Generals on my 04 6 speed Max. So far, I think the Generals were the best. I also thought that the stock Goodyears spun way too easily off the line (especially with any water on the surface).

Michelin pilot sport A/S Plus and they are sweet. Wish I would had got the Primacy but Costco was out of stock and I could not wait. I had bridgestone G-019 Grids on there and they SUCK loud and rough ride
