Here our my new tires. They seem to be pretty good. Paid $131. I am not able to post my pictures. Sorry guys! I can email to anyone or take instruction on how to post.

so far these tires ROCK!

Please keep me/us posted. This is the exact combo I am looking at. I'm interested in their longer term performance. Do they start getting noisy or wear too fast? Does the ride get harsher? Stuff like that.

So far have you noticed anything worse that the stock tires?

Sorry I can't post pictures. I have been able to email 3 photos I took last week. I can email them to you. I have only had these tires on my car for about 10 days now. Have clocked nearly 400 miles. I would say that the tires have a different feel than stock. I do think handling is better, especially the long sweeping right hand turns (like freeway on ramp going up hill). I don't notice any increased noise (thought tires are still new). The only thing I have noticed is some drift on the freeway. The car doesn't feel as glued down as before. Maybe bigger tires on smaller rim is the cause. I would recommend these tires. If money is an issue (as it is with most of us) then I would get them. I am still trying to dial in tire pressure (currently 36psi). The one thing I am very happy with is the ability to take my car to car wash for $8 and not get the rims scratched. Tires do look pretty good too!

Anyone who wants to see the photos can email me. I will send photos to you with a reply email. rogerkb@cox.net

Maybe bigger tires on smaller rim is the cause. If money is an issue (as it is with most of us) then I would get them. I am still trying to dial in tire pressure (currently 36psi). As far as wear they are too new for me to compare to stock. Compared to stock I think they actually are much softer with a larger groove patern (look very aggressive). Stock lasted me 32,500 miles. The one thing I am very happy with is the ability to take my car to car wash for $8 and not get the rims scratched. Tires do make the car look pretty good too which is an improvement over stock pizza cutters! Let me know what else I can answer.

werd!..these tires are great!

I got 215/45 ZR 17 on my Altima. Although they are a bit noisy, they make the car handle much better. Great looks too. Paid $94 x 4 and I got a 10:1 remote controlled Porsche 996 by mail (tirerack.com 10 months ago).

Hey zamo, you say the Yoko's are actually noisy on your Altima? Didnt that come with Bridgestone's? Those are supposed to be quite noisy when they wear. Are they noisy at highway speeds, low speeds, just on certain surfaces or all around?

scalbert

Mine are doing great even considering the blower abuse they receive. I've been running at 37 PSI and it seems to be pretty even on the wear.

Freakin' FIrestone POS tires. They were 205/55 HR 16. I bought new rims and tires (yoko), and they are loud when you are at high speed, but acceptable level. U can hear them louder when making turns. They are stiffer.

I never got to the point of wearing out the Bridgestone. They never balanced well, and they perform really bad.
