I have a set of Avid V4's on my 99 GLE, size 215 55 16. I've put 30k miles
on them. I also had a set of Avid H4's on a 95 GXE 215 60 15 (until we sold
the car three weeks ago). Both cars have OEM Maxima aluminum wheels.

I purchased both sets of tires from Tirerack. I thought then, and still
think, that they are a good value.

These are fairly hard, long lasting tires. In the case of the 95 GXE, the
ride quality was very good. The tires were pretty quiet, smooth running, and
great in all sorts of weather. The tread pattern is directional and fairly
aggressive. The sidewalls stood up to the weather and did not dry rot.

I'm not as happy with the V4's on the 99 GLE. The tires are very hard, and
loud at about any speed. I'm thinking about replacing them although they
still have plenty of life remaining. The car may have other as yet
undiagnosed issues (balance, alignment, steering components, etc.), but the
noise and vibration at highway speeds is annoying.

Tirerack tracks lots of customer critiques. This is a good source of more
info. Also, Yoko may have improved the tire since I purchased mine. The new
designation is "V4S." Mine are the older tires without the "S."
