I not trying to beat this subject to death but which one out of the following tires would you maxima drivers recommend, I just bought my Max from a flagship nissan dealer and I have Potenza RE92's on the car. I drove the car in heavy rain and had to do about 35-45 and still felt like i was losing control. Well to make a long story short the dealer is willing to go half on new tires with me. Which tire do you recommend? see below:

The tire sixe is 225\50\17

Falken Ziex ZE-512
Michelin HydroEdgeTM
Michelin Pilot® Sport A/S

I live is the northeast and have all types of weather conditions, I like Comfort, Handling, Trend Life and low noise. i bet that really narrowed the list down.

Thanks in advance for you help,
MAX2KMAN

 

With the dealer willing to pay half the price of new tires, absolutely go with the Pilot Sport A/S.

Thanks, Mike

 

I've got a tire for you. Yokohama AVS Db S2. They are EXTREMELY quiet for performance tires, they can hold their own in light snow/ice, and they are very good in the rain. I have driven in very heavy rain at speeds in excess of 80mph without a hint of hydroplaning. And to top it all off, they are fairly inexpensive as well.

 

Do they make the Yokohama AVS Db S2 tire in 225/50/17 Or what other size can I get. I saw the reviews on on www.tirerack.com and they look good. The dealer gave me a 3yr warranty on the car instead of replacing the tires. I would like to keep the cost down now.
