Best all around tire
Anyone have a suggestion for all season and still have good handling. My 2k ES has the originals with 38k on them.

YOKOHAMA!!!!!!!:D

Many people are happy with their Falken Ziex 512 tires. There aren't many choices in 195/55-15 hi-performance all season tires.

Originally posted by PseudoRealityX moved to the wheels/TIRES section... IMO, there's no such thing as all seasons that have a lot of grip. You have to decide which way you want to compromise. Of course, they start near $200, and aren't available in smaller sizes FWIW, I will probably get these for my '02 Altima when the stock tires wear out (assuming there isn't something better by then). |

i agree...kumho :D

BAM!!
from all the ratings and reviews, these continentals seem to be the perfect tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ExtremeContact don't know anything about tire wear, and unfortunately they don't make any in the correct size for stock P5 rims. |
For 195/55/15 sizes, if you really want to stick to an all season tire, you could also add to your list:
- for a summer-biased tire: Toyo Proxes TPT, V rated, UTQG 400 - for a winter-biased tire: Nokian WR, H rated, UTQG 420, with rim-protector |
Additionnal info: the Toyo proxes TPT are also available in 195/50/16 for the P5

Continental contiExtremeContact
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or those Nokian 4-season tires |
the continentals don't run in size 195-55-15 as on my Pro. Is it ok to go to 205?
|
205/55/15. Do it. :) hehe.

Falken!!!!

Why the Falkens? Have you actually driven them in Winter?
I drove on 215/40/17's of the contiExtreme last Winter and was really suprised how good they were. Obviously they can't touch a real snow tire but they were surprisingly good, better than I expected, and I didn't regret giving up snows for them. |
Just a little word about 205/55/15 tires: I have tried a set of 205/55/15 BFG on my ES in april and I didn't like them at all. Power was down significantly (passing another car was very dangerous) and breaking distances were much longer with these tires. Of course, they were just 'Grand touring' tires and the Conti seems to be sportier tires, so maybe it will not be the same with the Conti...
I'm not an expert but I think that the 205/55/15 BFG were just too heavy for my car (the 195/55/15 RE-92 are 19 lbs and I' pretty sure that my BFG were heavier). Is there someone here who can explain to what extent a heavier tire can affect the handling of a car? Maybe I'm just wrong on this after all ... Thanks |
