What Tires for 2000 Maxima GXE 16"

New to the forum. Sure this has been asked a million times before but looking for input on what 16" tires best for a 2000 Maxima GXE. Am a very normal driver but would like to get more than 30000 our of them. Price is also a factor. Thanks for any input. If someone can tell me how to search topics it would also be great. Thanks.

Spend some time at TireRack.com. A wealth of information even if you don't end up buying from them.

Get the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 for your 16" wheels. About $100.00 per tire. It gets great reviews. I got a set for my 16" wheels and they do quite well.

Did you buy after market rims? I have a 2000 GXE and I am pretty sure that the GXE wheels are 15"

I would suggest a set of Cooper Lifeliner SLE touring. Check out their entire line at www.coopertire.com/tire/, link to the SLE info is: http://www.coopertire.com/tire_coope...ger.asp?id=203

I would expect to pay between $100 and $110 per tire. I have this tire in the option 17" SE size on our 2k and they rock! From snow to driving in torrential rains last weekend at 70+ MPH they do a great job. Rotate them regularly and expect to get 50k miles out of them in the 16" size.

HOpe this helps!

Check Sumitomo HTR+ .
They are compared to Michelin Pilot Sports A/S $$$ on tirerack.com .
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...eMake=Sumitomo

and you can get them for ~80$.
I bought mine at sears for the ~same price and i like them.

Actually GXEs with the comfort & convience pkg came with 16s...
(just like SEs with the c&c came with 17s.)

I have Dunlop A2s on my LEgend. I love them. When I get my 5th gen I will surely get A2s for them too.
