Default Experience with replacement tires (Not Bridgestone)

I have over 42k on my 2003/Auto/Touring. Nissan replaced all tires at 18k and they are starting to get noisy. Roaring, particularly on smooth roads. Has anyone had a good experience with new non-Bridgestone tires. I will need new rubber in 10-15k if the noise doesn't drive me nuts.

Otherwise a phenomenal car !!!!

most people will say do a search, but i'm bored right now. i see signs of feathering already after 2000 miles on my tires (look at sig)

however, i see signs of feathering on most cars out there...but probably not to the extent of what's seen on our cars.

Default A Multitude of choices...

If you stay stock I would say go with the same OEM tire that came with the car. However if you decide to upgrade, try Toyo's or Dunlop or Goodyear. Just a suggestion, but there a good bit of tires to choose from that are reasonably priced to the high end depending on the size you want and availability.

Well 18k on first set and 24k on second set I would say you are doing pretty dam good, I am at 25k and on my third set, so far RE40's and S03's feathered but Toyo T1's didn't but rears wore quickly
