I chose the Bridgestone Potenza RE950. I have a 1997 GLE with factory 15" rims. I chose size 215/60/15, my factory size is 205/65/15. Will these tires fit correctly? Also, How is tirerack's service and shipping? Does they ship when they say so? Here is the link to the tirerack webpage.

Thanx,

Tirerack service and shipping is great. They got tires to me faster than I thought

and also helped me pick out snows.

Actually, that would be 5 miles off after 100 miles so if you extrapolate that to 10K, you will be 500 miles off. I'm just calculating. Good luck.

Ditto the positive comments about Tirerack. They seem knowledgeable and are helpful, and shipping is fast.

After buying my last set of tires from them (for a car I've since sold), the people at Discount Tire told me they'd get me the same tires, match the price (or beat it), and mount/balance/add road hazard protection for less than they would charge just to mount the ones from TireRack...of course, this was AFTER I walked in with the Tirerack set.

I've gotten my last 2 sets from Tire Rack. They were very good both times.

You'll love the 950's. Let us know how you like em when you get them on.

I have ordered several sets of tires from the tire rack. Their service is good and the shipping times they quote are accurate. I'll never buy tires anywhere else.

Tire Rack was great to me...
But then again they DID get $3000 of my money...
They shipped my rims out 2-day air for no extra $$...
And everything was packaged great...

What about...

...different brands of wheels. Are the wheels that come up online for the Maxima the only wheels they carry or can get? What about a brand like Tenzo R? I'm interested in the Mean 6 by Tenzo R but it seems like only wheelmax.com carries them.
