i paid $104/each for Toyo FZ4 225/45 R17. I don't know what youre looking for or looking to get out of a tire.. but thats what I have. Car is lowered with RSB and the tires seem to work well. Only thing to compare to is the 55 series tires that were on there when I bought the car.. obviously these are Way better!
I like the BF Goodrich's G-force Sport, its a great UHP summer, but i took them through the snow at lake tahoe ski resorts and they were fiine. These tires handle like crazy, the sidewalls are super hard, though, may be a little punishing on routine driving on bumpy or broken roads. to top it all off, Costco lifetime mount/balance/road hazard repair, the cost is super cheap relative to other UHP and nitrogen air with green cap.
I like the BF Goodrich G-force Super Sports AS because they give me that extra bite in winter, but love how the handle too. they seem quieter than the sports and less jarring, although i went up to 18" inchers with 235/40. Eventhough i lost about 1/2 an inch of sidewall, seem quieter and smoother.
I have been very happy with my Yokohama YK520 tires I bought 17 months ago. But they are only sold by Discount Tire, which has no stores in some states. These YK520s ahould cost around $128 each, and seem to get the best customer reviews on several sites I checked.
I have been extremely happy with the Yokohama ADVAN S.4. in 235/45/17s. I live in Canada so I only use them in the summer times. Have been using them for about 4 summers now, by far the best tire I have ever experienced. I initially paid about 190+/ tire almost 4 years ago when these tires were first introduced. If you are looking for an excellent summer tire, I would recommend the Yokohama S.Drives (replacement for the ES100s). They are currently going for about 120/tire on tirerack.com. Excellent Tire.
Hey guys, I have an O4 Max and I am about to change my tires. I am looking at Nexen N7000, Kumho ECSTA ASX and General Exclaim UHP - I want all-season tires given that I do most of my driving between PA and NY and hence have to deal with all the weather elements. I am open to other brands as well. My tire size is 245/45/18 - I don't want a lot of noise and I am looking for good tread wear.

These are ALL cheap tires.
I bought similar tires the last two sets - and although, they were decent -- they were simply inferior to the more expensive brands.
They will be competent for about 20-25k miles, and that's all.
Expecting flat-spotting, difficult balancing, and uneven tread-wear.
You get what you pay for.

Good tread wear is not with those.
of those 3 choices I would go with the generals.
98 I30t Silver on black A/T going | 79 Camaro sold
96 Granite Pearl (AKA Purple) A/T gone | 92 grey VE A/T gone
96 I30 Black gone | 92 maroon VE A/T gone
92 white VE M/T gone | 92 grey VE A/T gone

Thanks for the feedback. I did some deeper research after writing the original post and decided not to go with any of those. I visited Tirerack.com and found these Dunlop SP SIgnature http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=5
Anyone have any feedback on these? Tirerack's reviews are pretty positive but still want to know how they ride on Maxima's especially the 04.
Just bought Bridgestone Turanzas with "serenity". All season touring tires that are supposed to last a while. Happy so far. Good ride, but only about 1000 miles on em now. about $160/tire here.
I have an 04 Max and I need to get some All-Season tires right away. I currently have Goodyear RSA on. I am not pleased with the tread wear on them. I am thinking of getting the Goodyear Eagle GT. What is the verdict on these ? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Model=Eagle+GT
