I have the OEM Goodyear Eagle RS-As on my I30, and they suck. When they're worn out I will not be buying another set. I'd like to go to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S but $178/tire is outrageous. So I'm wondering what you all have on your I30s and Maximas.

I just bought a set of BFG Traction TA's about a month ago. They seem to handle well in rain, dry, and light snow (haven't had any big snow yet). Ride is comfortable, and road noise is negligible.

I've got some no-names on right now...the nicest Les Schwab had in stock at the time. Not bad tires, actually...for all seasons.

I'll probably put on some Bridgestone RE960AS next summer or fall.

Our 2004 came with Eagle RS-As and they have to be some of the worst tires I've ever had. Fortunately the options for tires of that size have opened up a lot, so we'll be able to put something that doesn't suck on it when it comes time to replace them.

I was running Toyo T1-R's. This is an amazing tire but only lasted me for 12 months. Had to downgrade to save some money. I got Toyo Proxes 4 now which are still good but the T1-R's are sticky as hell!!

Falken FK451's. Great tire, inexpensive, and have lasted a long time. Rather sticky also.
