Gotta get new tires. Have checked out "Tire Rack", but would like some feedback from Maxima drivers on the best buy for my money (which is not alot!)as well as the best places to shop. Remember we are talking about a completely stock car, so nothing high performance needed..?right?

These days, you can get a great performing tire for not much more than a average one. I have and am very pleased with the Dunlop SP8000's. In 225/50ZR-16, they are about $85 each. TTL, they cost me right at $500. For a little less money, I have heard the Kuhmos (714's, IIRC) actually handle better than the Dunlop's.

I just bought 225/55/16 Yokahama AVS DB's. They are around $100/piece. They are ultra high performance all seasons with a very aggressive tread design with water channels. So far, my impressions are good. But of course I am comparing them to stock Eagle RSA's. Anyhow, no squeal to them. They are quiet but harsher on road seams and bumps. That may have to do with the increase in width. Thumbs up.

i got dunlop sp sport 8000 for $107 (the 225/55-16, not the 225/50-16) on the rear axle. they are nice and quiet, and have good performance. i'm just about to smooth out my factory rs-a in the front, so i'm getting some more 8000s.
only negative thing i've heard about is that they don't last very long -- i guess because of the soft compound.

Potenza RE730's 225/50/ZR16 ~$116 pre tire

I got these a few months ago and they are faboo. The sidewalls are pretty thick, stick out over the rims a hair and are stiff (for 50's). These tires grip phenomenally, and have a high treadwear rating for Z rated tires. Plus they are damn smooth, quiet, and predictable...
