I have the HTRZIII. I thought they were okay, i'm about to change all four soon as well. Anyone one have any reccomendations for good all season tires that will last?

Depending on what you wanna do with it .. sumi"s suck! yokohama's and nittos are great tires. Go see my brothers at Discount Tire/ America's Tire Co. They'll be more than happy to do a free tire inspection on your tires. Hope this helps.

I bought Michelins for my wife's non-sport G and I'm running the Potenza's on my non-sport (but with sport wheels...) G. The Michelins ride SO much smoother over the bumps it nearly feels like a different car. Of course, part of that is due to the different tire sizes, but overall I'm very impressed with the Michelins. They also came with a 60k tread life warranty!

Ive got the htzIII's and they are very good. quiet, with grip and good wet performance did last a bit longer than the Potenzas. Sure PS3's are better (but not much) at twice the cost but its a sports sedan after all, not a ferrari.

I loved my Sumitomo tires when i first bought my 05 maxima. When the tires wear down on my G i will by a set for it.

I've got Dunlop Sport Signatures All Season for 20" rims and they've been great so far. Have about 20k on them and they should go 30-35K if the wear continues as it has.
