Time to change tires after 49 000 km

What tire set do you recommend / what is a decent price ?

[SanoSuKe]

Do you want all season?

With Sano - what do you want to get out of your tires? Longevity, performance, or a cost effective blend of both?

The OE tires are good for riding and the like (if they were the Michelin Pilot HXMX like I got), but I wasn't overly impressed with them from a grip standpoint. Wasn't really sold on them in the rain either. The Bridgestone Turanzas on my 08 were better in the rain, but other than that, they were an awful tire. I think Nissan knew that too as they dropped them for the V6 after that model year when they changed the wheel.

I would appreciate some advice on all season tires, the area awe live in gets some decent snow in the winter

I just started searching, am trying to understand the price range i should be looking at, find out companies/tires that are reliable, and if possible - not a very noisy tire set

You being in Canada... not so sure how I can help on pricing, as some brands may fluctuate, etc. Aside from that, I can offer insight on tire brands.

I have heard from many people (including people here on this forum) that say Hankook is one of the best bangs for the buck on the market right now. They make a Ventus V4 ES for that size, and on Tire Rack they run around $620 USD a set.

Other brands I have experience with are Falken, Federal, and Goodyear for all season tires. The Falkens wore down quickly, the Federals were fantastic (but not available in this size from my research) and the Goodyears just sucked all around.

The Michelin Pilot HXMX is ok, but they're wicked pricey. A Pilot All Season Plus is a fantastic all season tire, and really worth the money if you spend it (they're around $920 USD on tire rack).

The Michelins will be the quietest for sure. I have not used the Hankooks, but I have heard they're not noisy and overall just good for the price. Even 370 drivers opt for them for a daily driving tire, but for track use they're not great because of higher sidewall flex.

I just replaced my Goodyears with Nittos. Same size listed above, as of now I like them but have not experienced any wet conditions yet. They ride nice and are quiet. @ 170 each

I have been using Michelin Primacy MXM4’s. I have been very satisfied with them. They ride good, low road noise, and handle well, for an all season 60000 mile tire. They are a little pricy though. I got the best price at Discount tire.
