My tires are messed up and I'd like to get a new set. Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent tire at a fair price for my 99 maxima SE. Price is an issue but I'd like to get a nice set, so the best set that I can get for the money. Any suggestions?

a nice budget minded tire would be the falken ziex-512.
this is assuming you are in the market for an all season tire.
check out discounttiredirect.com or edgeracing.com forgot which site has it cheaper.

hey its me again...are your wheels stock?

My wheels arn't stock. I have General Exclaim tires on there right now. I do need an all season tire, and I will be driving in the snow.

edit: My bad, I'm an idiot my wheels are stock.

what kind of rims u have ? what size ?

go to tirerack and put your tire size in then sort by price. Read what people say about the tires. Thats usually how i do it when I feel like trying different stuff.

My bad, I'm an idiot my wheels are stock. They are the stock wheels that come on the SE I guess. No idea of the size but it was what ever came on the car back when we bought it in '99.

These wheels:

Do you guys think buying online and having a store balance and align is cheaper then going to a store and buying tires there and having them align there?

General Exclaims are all season tires. And they're rather inexpensive. I have two on my car and plan to get two more before winter for the other axle. I'd recommend tirerack as well. I usually purchase from tirewarehouse though.

Edit: stock tire size is 215/55R16 for your SE. You can get 225/50R16

why not take a look at the top of this forum for:

"Sticky: Poll: The DEFINITIVE All-Season Tire Thread... ( 1 2 3) "

and then you will waste less of your time waiting for answers :rolleye:

I posted this in the 4th gen max forum and it was moved here. I didn't know there was a tire forum.

What is your price range? Hear nothing but EXCELLENT reviews for those, unfortunately for my size Im looking at around 900-1000 mounted, so out for me

If I could spend 400 for tires/mounting/balancing + allignment I would be
very happy.

Well this may help

The only other well rounded tire I see on that list is the Contiextremecontact...based on consumer reviews...For UHPAS that is...

Shipped from Tire rack your looking at a little under 400 I believe, plus mounting, balancing, etc...

I would suggest calling several tire places in your area and asking them what brands they carry, then doing research based on that....

that's because Tire Rack doesn't carry Toyo.

Proxes4 > Contiextreme...

I totally agree in dry in wet conditions, but I thought the proxes 4s were less then stellar in snow/ice conditions? I wouldn't know as I haven't tried it, my current tires are Toyo Proxes 4s....

Care to enlighten us?
