Check out Cooper All Season Tires: http://www.coopertires.com/Flash/index.aspx
I have the CS4s on my SE and I love them!!!! They handle great for about $100/tire. My tires are H-rated and meet specs required.
Performance tires........Not sure.

i absolutely love the falken ziex zx-912. Fairly priced, handle great on dry and wet. I had them for my subaru legacy but now that i switched over the to maxima, i'm considering buying a set of falken once these bridgestones wear down. I LOVE THESE TIRES!!!

Driving high performance tire can be dangerous in snowy conditions.

The Yokohama AVID TRZ is a good tire for the money. They are a little more than the Falken but have a better treadwear grade. The tread pattern performs well in all weather conditions. They have had great reviews and bad ones but from my experience they are a very good tire. Atleast worth a look in my opinion.

dont buy your tires online, your gonna pay for mounting and balancing. not worth it, trust me. unless you are rich and like wasting money, go to cj's tire if you have one near you. i have yokohama h4s's, about 370.00 for the set installed. get nitrogen in tires there too, 2 bucks a tire.

I've gotten my past few sets from tirerack.com I've gotten them mounted and balanced locally for $18/tire (that was for 17's). Call tire centers around you to see how much they charge for mounting and balancing.
You can also check out Costco/BJ's. You might pay just a little more, but they have a good warranty.

I've been disappointed with the Yokohama AVID Touring S. Only 55,000 km on them and are going bald. and not very pleased with wet traction.
A mechanic said he is selling a lot of Sailun Atrezzo SH402 and his feedback has been quite good. He can get for $78 ea.
Anyone heard of them, I sure haven't?

Kumho Ecsta ASX seem good and reasonably priced. I do already have snows.

Actually it was the guy before him.
I just installed Kumho Ecsta ASX A/S on my SE rims. I can't really compare them to anything because my old tires, which were on the car when I bought it, were awful. Put it this way: I used to just turn off the radio at any speed above 60 because I couldn't hear anything. With the Kumhos, music is nicely audible and conversation is possible. I am a happy feller.

i have no idea why people talk bad about potenzas
I think there are several different models called potenza
the only potenzas ive ever had are definitely the best tires ive ever had, better than 140 michelins or whatever.
i wouldnt buy anything else and for what it matters they are the oem of maximas.
bridgestone, yokohama those are all I go for. Im a japanese only fan, if the japs like it it rules.
youre buying ngk plugs why not japanese tires? The rest is crap to me. Even like BFG is crap its just expensive.

i have yoko's on both sets of wheels and though a little noisy sometimes they are the best tires for our cars imo. avid w4s's on the 17's i have on the max right now and avid h4's on the stocker 15's. you need to rotate and and put in some nitrogen so you don't have uneven wear.

Still looking for All-Season Touring tires. The Tirerack site has the Pirelli P4 as the best. My usual local place to buy agrees, but says that the Dunlop Signature is a 2nd best and best bang for buck.
Again anyone know about the Sailun tires?

well today I am slanted toward the Pirelli P4, for $110CDN per tire. But, it is T rated not H.
I don't expect to ride at T(190kph) or H(210kph), but is it true that an H tire's handling is superior at 120 or 130kph?
Go for an H?
