so this is a pretty noob question but i can find it anywhere else. i want to put bigger tires on my stock rims i was thinking 155 in the back and 135 in the front. bigger is better right? i know you can fit some pretty big wheels/ tires in both front and back but whats the biggest tires you can put on stock 03 base wheels? right now i have some S drives and they have been real good tires but i want a little more traction. i live in san diego so when it rains the road gets slick and i already did a 360 on the freeway comming out of a turn it was actually bad *** cuz it looked like i did it on purpose. so i have been trying to do research on what kind of tires i should get next. i went to tire rack and there # 1 extreme sumer tire is a dunlop direzza it had the best wet and dry traction. plus the dunlop is cheaper than the S drive. to good to be true? how do these compare to the sessantas? thanks to all that respond your gonna save me a headache.

 

Welcome. If you want wider tires get wider wheels. There is a reason Nissan recommends specific tires for their wheels.

I am going to go with the dunlop direzza. Only because the direzza is similiar to the SP Sport Maxx. And the SP Sport Maxx is a winner.

 

I agree with the wider wheels but I don't have the money for them. Right now I'm trying to maximize what I got. I haven't bought many tires for cars but I know for bikes you can always stick a bigger rear tire in there compared to stock and you get better performance. Thanks for the post

 

I'd go Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs:
