Spec tires for 1995 SE 215 60 R15
I noticed my size tires for my SE are getting harder and harder to come by. I do not want to upsize and I actually like my OEM 215 60 R15's. I have a set of Bridgestone Potenzas on now (great for holding the road in wet conditions but very very noisy) but they are at end of life and have been discontinued. I am looking for a good all-season tire 215 60 R15 that is quiet but has good grip in wet weather. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look into the Pirelli P7's and check if they come in your size. Can't say enough about how nice they are. Great all around tire with durable side walls. The Continental Extreme Contacts before, 3 out of 4 went by way of sidewall pops.
The P7's are the quietest so far since 1999 when I bought my SE new. They also do better than anything else out there in snow, other than dedicated snow tires, 4th Gen's weakest flaw. Limited Slip was not standard. My 88 Maxima climbed over and through everything in Winter. This one was a HUGE disappointment after that.
I had the Potenzas after the original Goodyears. Exceptional in the rain. Banana Peels in the snow! YIKES!
I hope this helps!

Michelin Defenders.
Best tires I've used in 30 years. Winter driving is almost as good as Blizzaks and Summer is almost as good as many performance tires.
I got the 80k version too. Not cheap, about $1,100 with lifetime rotate/balance/hazard option. Definitely worth the cost though, especially for a daily driver.
