Looking for new tires...what to choose?

Hi

Looking for new tires for my 2011 Maxima. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices.

245/45R18 MILESTAR or 245/45R18 BARUM
(On a serious budget... restructuring at my office)


Any info, reviews or experience about these tires would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The right tire for you depends on the following: How much are you willing to spend? Is your car driven in ice and snow? What criteria is important to you? Is it tire wear, handling, braking, snow and ice traction, hydroplaning etc. Once you answer these question go to tirerack.com and chose your tire.

Well said.

Once you narrow things down check out Discount Tire too. I usually call all the ones in my area & go to the one that gives me the best price. Sometimes they also give you a little trade in value for your old tires, depending on their condition.
