Tires again!

Ok, I have a 2010 sport with 19s. I am already having to replace the tires for the 2nd time with about 55k miles. Ive been using the same tires, goodyears that came on the car. I live in CT so I deal with all types of weather. I drive the car pretty hard. I was looking around, I heard costco had good prices. Can someone tell me their experiences and what your using? I do local and highway driving and I drive the car very hard. I'm not sure if any tire is going to be better then what I have now.

I'm currently running the RS-A's but will be changing soon and I am looking at the Michelin Primacy MXV4 & Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105

Have heard great reviews by other 7th gens on the Michelin's but not sure about the Hankook's

Go to tirerack.com and review their tire ratings and owners review. I would think that your most important criteria is handling and ice/snow traction. PS the Goodyear RSA are cheap but have average ratings with poor hydroplanning. Micelin Primacy are much better in every respect but cost more.

I haven't looked into tires on the Maxima yet, but Goodyear RSAs came stock on my Charger. I hated those tires. Even when they were new, they offered little traction in wet conditions. When it came time to replace them, I went with Yokohama Parada SpecXs. They were great all around tires and had positive reviews across all categories. I've put Yokohamas on a couple of other vehicles as well and have not had any issues. When it comes time for tires on the Maxima, the Goodyears are gone.

My tire guy had them...he said he has been putting them on for 3+ years and no problems. There is a set on eBay... I ran them hard tonight too did 100+ for about 5 min straight on my way back from Macon to savannah on 16 and the ride was smooth and handled nicely as well for that speed...

Just purchased a set for my friends q5 265/35/22 all 4 came to 460$... PM me and I will shoot you his number if any one is interested...
