I recently had to have new tires on my max...running on a tight budget, I bought cheap all season tires. They are called fate-o or something like that. So far all I have noticed with them is that I have ZERO traction and my abs is constantly coming on. Has anybody else ever had these tires?

Im getting Dunlop Sport A2s probably within the next week.

 

Wrong forum, are we supposed to guess the name of your POS tires and to make matters worse you're going to Duncraps!

 

Here's another thread about that brand: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ghlight=fate-o

The title alone is information enough.

 

Fate-o's someone has them and had big trouble with them.

 

Pardon the pun but I guess the name speaks for themselves, hope you can get some better ones soon, after reading that other thread sounds like your going to pay more in body parts in the long run

 

why don't you just get some falken ziex 512s... it's what i'm gonna do when my tires wear out ($68 x 4 + 35 shipping) (for 215/55/16)

Hmm what if they were Fate - Greats..... prob be alot better

 

for the love of all that is good and holy please don't buy dunlop's SP Sport A2. i went through a set in about 18,000 miles. they handle great and have okay snow traction, even. unfortunately, they are super soft and don't last very long.

 

If you're looking at All seasons Toyo Proxes 4 rule!

 

if u want a cheap decent tire go with Sumitomo HTRZs

 

or 48 x 4 = 192 with free shipping. at www.discounttiredirect.com

 

hmm....maybe they should call it a fatalit-o...

yes, toyo proxes 4's are great, verry grippy in the wet and dry.

 

on the falkens

 

lol at the name of the tire company... so ironic.

 

Sport a2's suck. The newer sport a2 plus are fine for 35k...

 

I was reading through diffrent tire reviews and this is actually the first time I have seen any negative feedback about the Sport A2. I dont need anything super crazy...Im just looking for the best all season tire I can get...and a reasonable price, thats why they seemed like a good choice.

 

Yeah, everyone here was very pro A2 when I was buying tires about two years ago. Those tires are awful, unless you have money to burn replacing them all the time. I wasn't very impressed with the snow traction either. I drive what most here would call conservatively, and I got about 25k out of the A2s. Another vote for Toyo from me.

 

once again? Okay, A2's were always good tires, but had no tread wear, now Dunlop has release the sport A2 *PLUS*, amount other things, it has a brand new nylon layer to fix the problem with tread life. I like my a2 plus's very much.

 

... am i missing something?
they are $76 on that site... although still a slightly better deal since they have free shipping...

 

i've really like kumho's. alot. i have a dedicated winter and summer set, but my brother has some allseasons from them, i think the KH11's and he's really happy.
