Which of these tires would you recommend?

((((I did use the search function and did find some info..))))


Bridgestone Potenza RE950

Yokohama Avid V4

Yokohama Avid T4

Yokohama AVS Db

Dunlop SP Sport A2

Tire rack narrowed my search to the above...

What would you guys recommend?

I'm in Ohio and will be driving through some snow, but mainly wet/dry roads.

THANK YOU!!

You drive a Maxima so HR rated and above...

Dunlop Sport A2...I have on now for fall/winter Luv the more than my Dunlop SP9000s. The tread patern isn't exciting but it might be the best Tire for the price I have ever come accross.

Yokohama Avid V4...my friend has and it is mushy when pushed hard. He has a 3000gt...made it feel like a "base" rental car.He is sad.

Yokohama AVS Db...is a boring non responsive tire that was on my uncle's M3 he changed them out to SO3's.

Bridgestone RE950..I had on my Civic SI, they were great when it was hot out but 50 degrees and below, the got hard like fake plastic wheels on Tonka trucks. Traction wasn't that good.

Dunlop Sport A2. enjoy the ride.

Sport A2's all the way. Best tire I've driven on so far. Extremely quiet, handles great even on wet roads.

Dunlop A2...just got them yesterday for $370. Sor far they are excellent. Handle good in the rain, but they are still brand new so time will tell.

I think thats a great price. I paid $89.95 at a local tire shop but obviously w/o the shipping and w/ tax came out to about $365. I say go for it unless maybe you can find a shop in your area that sells the tires for the same price. You know that way you don't have to pay shipping.

Just got my Dunlop A2's from tire rack two weeks ago. Paid the same. Dealers in my area couldn't touch the price. Paid shipping but came out less than tax. Had them mounted and balanced for $53 total. Much, much, much better then the Goodyear RSA's. Quiet, handles well and good in the rain. We'll see how they do in snow. Enjoy.

Try sears, they will match the tirerack price (including shipping) and you can usually talk them into free mount and/or balance.
