Well for the price I wanted to pay I didn't have too many options. I went off the name brand vs. a Kumho. I was just trying to see if anyone had heard anything as even TireRack doesn't have any customer reviews as the tire is very new.

Crazy thing is about TireRack is the price sounds great but I would only use them to price match other people. In my case the $160 tire turns out to cost $203.28 shipped without mounting and balancing. I got the guy at discount to give me an out the door price of $778 with the Road Hazard and Mounting and Balancing. I will post pics when everything gets in and I get it all put on. Maybe someone can give me some input on some questions about lowering the car. I asked this in the 5th gen forum and it got closed.

I will finally be getting my wheels and tires and would like some input on a suspension upgrade. The wheels are 19x8 with 245/35-19 tires.

Ride quality is my biggest concern. I will also order struts at the same time.

The only problem is that because of the stereo in the rear it would take a ton of labor hours to even get to the top of the strut tower. The weight has actually lowered the rear about 1.5" already so lowering the front only would even out the car. Is this a possible safety issue?

What strut/spring combination would fit my needs the best? I have looked at the poll thread (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=281194) and will probably order from ImportCarPartsP (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=322033). Thanks for the help.
