I have the Nittos on mine. Too pricey IMO. If you can find some Vredestein Sessantas in 245/40/19, DO IT!

These guys are legit, but if you can find them locally, go for it:

Kumho SPT's currently. Also had Pilot Sport PS2's on there before. I prefer the handling of the Pilots (stiffer sidewall maybe), but also like the price of the Kumho's.

Yeah... the Vreds are a little cheaper, but the tires are far superior in every way. A lot more for the $ IMO...

255/40/19? Sweet! I have been hoping to see how it looks on a Max. Though my wheels are 19x8 with 245/40/19, as opposed to yours 19x8.5, I still want to put the 255/40/19 on it. Well, I still hope to come to OKC for the meet, so I hope I get the chance to see your tires in person. If you have some close up pics, send me a link to view.

I have read some great reviews about those Hankooks. So, no surprise you do enjoy them too. Enjoy your rubber!

If you want to do a 35 profile tire on a 19" wheels the optimum width is 275. Im currently running 265's but Im not sure if I can clear 275's.

I've never used anything I like that. I just stop by the car wash every 3 or 4 days and just spray down my wheels and go.

Those nismo wheels look nice on all of you guys' cars that have it. Has Nismo come out with a new design yet to replace these?

Not that I know of and I doubt they will.They might make something for the 7thgen but as our 6th gens age there will be fewer parts on the market;[.Nissan is out to make the big bucks but you can probably find wheels that look very similar pretty easily.I mean at the end of the day they are just 19' alloy 10 spoke rims!

There is the thread for your personal viewing. And to tell you the truth, I am not even done yet. In about 2 weeks or less, I will be updating thread with more pics. I am just enjoying it and when my project is complete, will enjoy the look for about a year or less and pull every sticker off. Car back to normal before July 4th 2011.
