In reading some reviews in MotorTrend and other places, the Altima Coupe fell a little short when it came to grip and traction due to the tires compared to the Altima Coupe and Eclipse GT. I like the wheels and really don't have the money to by new wheels and tires, so I was thinking when these wear out, what would I replace them with.
OEM size is 215/55/17
What would you upgrade your Stock OEM 17" tires to ?

mp.. if you own it... you can do a cashless exchange for some half decent 18s!

i wont charge you for this "hustler" advice...
Your stock 17s are worth somewhere around $700 i believe...
There are plenty of wheels you can get for around that price!
If you really are down to brass tacks, i can hook u up with a 0% credit card, that you can float the balance of the aftermarket wheels on, until you sell the 17s...
follow?

I got ya. I guess I didn't think I could sell the Stockers for that price. What is everyone with aftermarket wheels doing about the TPMS?

2 things... one, you can sell it for extra $ (i think you know when you have a flat) but you have a dash light on then...
Or you can swap em into the aftermarket wheels.. it will fit almost all wheels minus some 3 piece forged $20k wheels.

If you want new rubber check out http://www.tirerack.com.
I suggest an Ultra high performance all season.
I see you live in Md, you dont wanna mess with summer tires.

Tirerack seems to be keeping up with the competition on price pretty well IMHO. As for tires, my luck has been good with General UHP's, not much of a name, but if you're not into the status symbol of a high-end name brand (ie. Pirelli, etc.) then you have options.
