KUM-Uh-Oh's

I got them at a good price but I haven't had much luck with them. First of all I had to rebalance them, and I still have steering shake @65mph. But it could be the fact that the wheels could be bad too, who knows Also, mine are low profiled on 17" Primax's, so you feel every bump on the road. Will upgrade to at least 215's soon. As for traction thanks for the heads up, Im going to Killington on the 6th. Looks like i'll have hit up the rents for the Pathfinder Hehe!

What tire size are you using? "Upgrade to 215"? Are you using 205's? That's way too small for 17's, hence your harsh ride on those rubber band tires. The recommended size for Maximas are:

15": 205/65/15 or 215/60/15
16": 215/55/16 or 225/50/16
17": 235/45/17
18": 235/40/18 or 245/40/18

I have the Kumhos in 235/45/17 and the ride is acceptable. Not great, but okay with lowered suspension and heavy rims.
