I have 245/35's up front and 255/35s in the back. And I'm fine you could go 245/35 all the way around. Some people go with 245/40s, I guess it depends how low you are

You'll be fine with H&Rs lol. I have no gap up front and I'm good with the fronts. I do need to roll my rear fenders though. I don't have any spacers.

Hi, first post here...we have a 1996 Maxima SE with 44 K orig miles. Time for tires and being that I can't start a thread I was wondering what tires someone here would recommend. Right now I have Michelin's and after 26K they have worn down faster than I would like.
Open for suggestions here. By the way....everything except the tires on it is....factory original....so far.

I have had 245/35/19 and that worked very well. Only downside is the price of tires in that size. Expect to pay a nice amount for decent tires.
