Best All Season tires for a '97 ES?
Any recommendations!? Living in the midwest, I unfortunately need something that'll be able to handle some snow, since I'm too lazy to switch for the winter...

I used to run Dunlop's D60A2's on my Maxima but was never real happy with them. Heard the new Dunlop Sport A2 is good but thought it would probably be like the other tires I was not too impressed with.
I put some Bridgestone Potenza RE950's on it a few months before I sold it and I really liked them!
Drove in light snow once or twice with them and thought they did a nice job.
Have a 97 ES now with Michelin Pilot XGT H4's on it and think they are pretty good but I kind of lean toward the RE950's.
I read up on the RE950's on Tire Rack.

They have a nice write up of the tires and a rating system for dry, wet, snow, tread wear etc.
Would be interested in what you get and how you like them so keep us posted.

I have Michelin's on my stock wheels. I don't remember the exact model because they are no on the car right now, but they were about $120 each. They grip great in all road conditions (dry/rain/snow/ice) and the ride is very smooth. If I can find the recipt for them or if I go to the garage they are stored at I will post the model for you.

Dunlop SP 5000's
Anyone know anything about the Dunlop SP5000's? The tread looks pretty aggressive, but they're still an all-season performance tire. Also, what about the SP-4000's which were I believe stock, when the '97 Es's came out.
