Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / July 200496 Maxima - Need New Tires
My '96 Maxima is due for new tires and I was curious if anyone has any recommendations on the type/model I should get, where I should purchase them (dealer, NTB, etc.) and any price estimates? I currently have 2 Firsetones and 2 Yokohamas (don't ask!long story)- that's why I am asking for assistance. Most of my driving is on a couple pot-hole infested streets (en route to work) and some highway. Thanks! You can get some freshly tarred but not feathered tires at Guiterrez Tires. > My '96 Maxima is due for new tires and I was curious if anyone has any > recommendations on the type/model I should get, where I should purchase [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks!

I am in the Washington D.C. area. Not much snow here but there is the occasional snow storm and ice on the roads. one word, Michelin's They are the only tire I recommend. > My '96 Maxima is due for new tires and I was curious if anyone has any > recommendations on the type/model I should get, where I should purchase [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks! > one word, > > Michelin's > > They are the only tire I recommend. Just don't expect them to last as long as they say they will, no matter how you drive. My Pilot XGT's lasted about 10,000 less than advertised.

I just put those on my '91 SE. Replaced the stock 205/65-15's with 225/60-15.

Any good road tire will do I suppose. My concern was the size of the tire. I own a 98 and it has 205 65 15's. I thought this a bit narrow as my 95 Altima has 205 60's. So I replaced the stock tires with 215 60 15's, thats right a wider tire and lower profile. I like it, I ran the numbers and the speedometer will be about 1/2-1 mile an hour fast, which is a good deal if you like to speed. > Any good road tire will do I suppose.

The 225/60-15's are a better match with the 205/65-15's. Almost identical diameter. Bill G '91 SE Auto 167K miles I have been satisfied with Toyo Proxes H4 (perhaps no longer available) for non-snow seasons, and Toyo Observe G02 in the winter. The winter tires are particularly good in shush/wet show. But they also handle very nicely on "dry cold snow" and clear roads. Price sort of in the middle. I just get mine from my local maintenance mechanic and tire guy. Get the highest performance rating you can to match the Max suspension. I never shop the chains..... Good luck.
