They're top of their class in terms of performance/reliability, etc...

Any Maximas out there using these?

They're $90 each at tirerack.com... That's not too bad is it?

no considering that the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S sells for $193/tire

And I believe the right ones for mine sell for a bit more than yours:
235/45-17 Price Each: $114

But, the savings is well worth it!

BTW, I'm going to my father-in-laws shop on Thursday to install them...

Got them fitted this morning, and they stick like sh*t to a blanket!

Very happy

Well it's raining right now in northern VA, and they felt absolutely fine, Snow I have no idea... The reviews on tirerack.com should give you a better idea

Installed mine on Thursday.

Dry pavement launches from 1st gear are much better. It was way too easy to spin the tires with the Craptenzas, but with the Traction T/As I have to really try.
Wet pavement is soooo much better to drive on. We had lots of rain yesterday and today from the last of Ivan. Here again I had to start off carefully in 1st gear on wet pavement, but not with these new tires!

For snow look at tirerack as mentioned before or this Canadian site http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?ti...T%2FA%AE+H%26V

I should have put these on a long time ago!

I have them on sawblades size 205/65H15. They are replacements for the old Dunlop SP4000. Great tires for the price. I used to dread wet pavement, but my new tires handle the wet with no problem. Used to accept the GLE wallowy ride, but it is gone after the new tires were mounted. Dry traction is very very good. I am looking forward to the first snowfall, and I believe it should be no problem based on the reviews of other drivers who had them last winter.
