I'm getting a killer deal on them, and I know from reports they are pretty solid tires in the price range. Anyone have experience with them?

Had some Falken Ziex on my 2000 Maxima stock rims they were pretty good but that was like 4 or 5 years ago but to me they go pretty quick on the tire thread and some people don't like Falken's so good luck on them if you get em!!

I heard the same with tread.. My issue is, in my price range most of the tires complain about the same thing "tread life"! I'm getting these at $80 a tire, free install.

I have... Then I read other sites, and the ratings are solid. So i'm kinda at like a cross road. Because they are matching them to another tire I wanted that they said was okay, but they would have to order. So they were like well we can do these for you at the same price. The other tire was a General Tire Exclaim UHP... Which doesn't seem to get such bad ratings... Again i'm not sure what to do. Because my tires are bald and I want something decent. I currently have had the Bridgestone Potenza's and they have been horrid for me.

After doing much research, i'm just going to have them order the General Exclaim UHP tire. Seems to get very high ratings from consumers and seems to have better tread life and quietness.

Nexen should run you about the same price and have longer tread life...

I hate to cheat a little (but since we have NismoS answered), but I have a 4th gen. question. Probably yes, but, will 215 60 16 fit on stock set up ? Being poor, that's the cheapest to get, but actually more to my tastes these days. Right now it has 225 50 16 (Goodrich Traction) but I'd rather have 60 sidewalls. Just want to be sure before purchase. Thanks again.

137.00 is too much for me at this time. I spent $78 per tire on the GT Exclaim UHP's, which they normally ran $107 a tire. 50k Warranty, and ratings are solid. Saying they are both quiet on the road, and have long tread life.
