Nitto Neo Gens? Need some input

Just wondering if anyone's had any experience on the Nitto Neo Gens on their stock 5.5 gen SE rims? I had the Nitto NT555's 255/45ZR18's or 255/35ZR18's, I forget which one, on my last Maxima, and I absolutely loved them. They were terrific during the summer, and even performed extremely well in the snow up here in New England. I was looking at either the 225/50ZR17 98W or the 235/50ZR17 100W, not sure which one I should get, so if anyone could advise me as to which I should go with, that I would be great as well. Also does anyone know of any reputable websites that would sell these tires?

Me I would just do the 225s, and discounttire.com has those I believe for not that bad off a price...but you might want a wider tire...Good Luck..

I was kind of leaning more towards the 235 for the wider tire and better traction, but the 225 would be better for the snow... although I don't know if it would really help that much. Also discount tire is kind of sketchy, I've heard some bad things about them.

Nitto Zeo gen or NEO gen? Anyways, the NEO gens are just about the same as my Hankook V12's. A friend of mine has them on a Bolt, grips very well. They were going to be my next tire but Hankook had them rebates going on.


***EDIT*** Discount tire is the ish!
