i gots a 2002 or 2003 q45 with the sports package and prem. package back seats heated and recline..when i bought the car it had yokohahmas yk520 145/45 18 tires but they are now obselete the make em any more and the model that replaces them went up in price like 65 bucks per tire..now i dont really want to down grade but with this economy i might have to but still what to have something decent dicount tire recomended goodyear eagle gt 850.96 for all 4 more expensive than my 520's which i got for 798.60 for all 4 and the goodyears are a down grade..let me know what u guys have on ur rides and what u think about the michelin tire that save gas and if there are other brands that do it as well :cry: ..ohh and another thing the tires where bald in the inside mainly the front and some on the back people say it was my alignment but the car always drove staight as an arrow with no problems but after last tire rotation i did go heavily on the fast turns more than i originally would to enjoy my car and have read that for some car models itsnormal for the inner to go bald because of the manufacturer designes the cars like that for better handling (tire tilt) is this true on the 02q45 ....i dont go that fast so speed rating isnt that important to me but tire rigidness is since i love taking turns fast speacially whe u got it on sport its a blast..please hook me up my tires are bald as f*** and want to make the right tire decission guys..thnx

I'm running wheels from an 02 or 03 and tires at 145/45 18

Right now I have Michelin MXM4.

I have been considering Continental ExtremeContact DWS though it doesn't snow much around here these days..

I looked at some Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTZ for $208 each..

I just bought a set of Uniroyal Touring Track A/S for the Maxima. I am surprised at the performance for a relatively low cost tire I picked up at Wal*Mart.
