The OEM tires on the 07 Maxima SE will hit 40,000. soon and will need to be replaced. Car is bone stock, 245-45-18 tires and most of mileage is highway commuting. Quietness and non-hydroplaning are important. I'd like to stay in the $125-$150 range.
I went to Tire Rack and Discount websites, did a lot of reading, and came up with these possibilities:

General Exclaim UHP $153. each- Utra Hi Perf- Summer
Goodyear Eagle GT -$ 143-$153 each- Ultra Hi Perf- A/S
Conti Extreme Contact- $154. each- Ultra High Perf A/S

Anybody have any Maxima experience with any of these tires? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks.

 

my suggestions not on your list, I actually looked at one or two of them. But I recently went with the Goodyear Assurance Triple tread. Got a killer price from Sears, they knocked off about $45 per tire to clear up a mistake they made. I wasn't even asking for a discount, but graciously accepted it.

Anyway, 80k mile rated tire, great wet weather, and sticks as good as some of those 40k soft rubber tires do. I liked the idea that i could go a few years with the same tires and not have to worry about replacing them. To me that was more important than having soft super sticky tires that lonly last 30,000. Again, these stick great, and add to that, usage in dirt and sand is by far exceptional to any tire I've ever had on a car.

 

You should check out the Falken Ziex 912 I recently got them for my 02 w/18"s and I'm very pleased with them. They are super quiet probably one of the quietest tires I've owned. They handle pretty well my only complaint is the squisy sidewall but other than that they are awsome. Wet traction is pretty good before I had Michillen Piolet Sports (AS) and the Falkens definaly outperform them wet and dry. Pretty cheap too I paid $107 each at Sears they were $150 but they pricematched tire-easy.coms price.

 

Thanks for the comments.
I finally decided on the Goodyear GTs and, after only 400 miles, they seem to be just fine. Buying tires isnt easy today....too many choices......I think I saw 52 choices on websites....worse than picking wallpaper!!!!
