im looking for all season tires...the winters in NJ are brutal and somtimes, i can barely even make it up a small hilly road. i would like the best performance i can get so i can actually stick to the road when its snow covered...or even frozen over from the stupid cold rainy days here.headhunt3r wrote:Before the Altima I had a set of Toyo Proxes 4's and I would definitely recommend them.
Currently I'm running some more wallet friendly Kumho SPT's and they're pretty good as well for less expensive summers. I've heard good things about the Falken FK-452's as well, or the Nitto Invo's for a much softer rubber compound.
Might help if you told us whether you were looking for an all season, or a summer tire, or any other criteria.
So for winter tires I have Blizzaks on the stock rims. They kick a**. Hard. I plow snow from boston all the way up to the ski mountains.soxypoo wrote:i also do need new tires for winter ... i am thinking use the stock rims and just get winter tires and next summer i will upgrade to 19 in and summers tires... so which tires is good for winter up i bostah ?????????

Last year's snow I was having trouble more with clearance than the tires I think... and that was before I installed the Eibachs.... this year I basically told myself that if there's more than a couple inches of snow on the ground, my car is grounded.Blackmobile wrote:if you're looking for a quality tire for the winter, then i'd say get new summer tires for your stockers, and buy dedicated winter tires. you'll never get the same grip from an all season tire compared to a winter tire. or you could get winter tires and then swap them to summers but that's kind of costly after a while, you'r better off getting a seperate set of tires with steel rims or cheap alloys.
i got my 2nd set for this coming winter, last year i was on my stockers and it was brutal even though they were all seasons. since i upgraded to summer tires and new rims this year i had to get something for winter cause last winter around here was vicious
