Recommened tires for 03' GLE

I just bought an 03' Maxima GLE Meridian Ed for my wife. Couldn't pass up on the deal. I found it an estate sale that I was doing an appraisal on. I picked up the car for $14K. It has 31K miles on it and it's in mint condition. Pearl white with tan leather and options out the ***, even heated steering wheel. The original Bridgestones are alittle worn though. I was curious what you guys changed over too. I thought Michelins or Yoko's, but I fiqured you guys knew what the best were from experiance. Thanks

All seasons - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, pricey but it is one of the best a/s tires out there.

I have also heard good things about toyo proxes 4.

Another vote for the Toyo Proxes 4.. I've had them for about a year on my '00 and they're great. Huge improvement in handling from the stock tires. Traction in snow seems really good, but we haven't had heavy snow here since I got them. (I don't think you need to worry about that in AZ though)

Nobody is "yelling" at anyone, just having a little fun. See, we make fun, then we answer the questions.

that's how it works



Hey, your post is off-topic too, but you didn't even answer his question

Thanks for all the replies. I see Discount doesn't sell the Toyo's. I might stick with the Michelins. I'm surprised no one mentioned Yoko's....

www.edgeracing.com

cheaper than Tirerack or Discount, and they carry the Proxes4. Shipping is cheap and fast too.
