#1 of 13 Is there another tire that can be used on 2003 Nissan Maxima by mj69bowl Mar 23, 2007 (11:46 am)
I'm looking to purchase new tires for my 03 Nissan Maxima. 225 50 R 17 tires. Is there another size tire that can be used. If so does anyone recommend any in particular? Where can I find? Price of the 225 50 R17 ranges from $580 (4 tires) to $1200 (4 tires) - Anything cheaper?

Replying to: mj69bowl (Mar 23, 2007 11:46 am) You should really buy new rims if you're not going to buy the "standard" size tire.   Personally, I bought 4 Bridgestone Turanza LS-Vs (GREAT tire, BTW, destroys the Potenzas) for around $550-600 installed.   IMO, this really isn't a car you want to put cheap tires on.

Replying to: perna (Mar 30, 2007 11:01 am) I am shopping tires also for my 03 Maxima GLE. Goodyear is recommending the Assurance Triple Tred but I am reading mixed reviews and I am not too concerned about wet/snow traction living in FL although we have heavy rains but my main concern is for ride comfort and longer wear. The Turanza's that are on there went for about 60K so far but need replacing soon. Anybody have any other experience or even comments on the Goodyear's?

Replying to: maximagle (May 28, 2007 7:50 pm) I have assurance triple tread on my old Buick and out of all GoodYear tires I find them best compromise for rain and Snow, but unless you get snow in Florida this summer ( to the enjoyment of Gorbal warming, which stands for Al Gore and his global warming movie, supporters) you have no use for them. I have Eagle RS-As on my Maxima and I hate them for everything but their longevity. After 30k+ and 7500 mile tire rotations they look like I have only 5k miles on them. They lose traction easily in wet weather and forget about driving in the winter as they will slip easily.

Replying to: mj69bowl (Mar 25, 2007 6:00 pm) You can look on www.tirerack.com I will recomment this tire to you Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position price $147.00 I this used this for over year now. Good luck to you.

I purchased a new set of four BFGoodrich g-Force Sport 245/45ZR17 tires for my 2003 SE for $113 each at Costco and I've been extremely pleased about their handling. Some may say that they're a bit noisy but apparently I've grown used to it as I don't hear anything. Even so, it's a fair trade-off for their performance. Mind you, these handle well - extremely well - on dry pavement and that's all I have here in San Diego. And even when the roads get their occasional rain, they handle infinitely better than the original (and dangerous) Bridgestone Potenzas.
#10 of 13 Tires for 03 MAXIMA SE 6 speed by cogitojazz Mar 02, 2008 (5:58 pm)
Greetings. I need new tires NOW as I had a blow out today on Cooper tires [never buy those again]. I live in SE Ohio, so snow is common though not serious. Seeing mixed reviews on Yokohama, Bridgestone Turanza and Potenza, and Goodyear. Car has 76K, is in great shape and I'm planning to keep it. Any recommendations will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
