Tires for 2009 Nissan Roque AWD recommendations

[terrehautian]

Fiance's car needs tires and the current ones are the ones that came with it. I don't really like them since they are a little noisy. Anyone recommend a good all season tire that is quiet?

Just put Continental PureContacts on the wife's Lexus RX, and ProContacts on my A4. The ones on the wife's RX are just slightly noisier than the OE Michelins and those were the quietest tires I have ever owned. Too bad they sucked for driving on even an inch of snow and only last 40K miles, oh yeah, and they cost $205 a tire.

My fiance said the dealership wants $185 a piece for the tires that are on hers now and they lasted about 40k. I am sure I can find quiet tires that are good cheaper then that.

If you can go the cost Michelin is always a best buy, they are pricy but they are very long wearing, quiet, and if you do the math cost less per mile than most lesser brands.

Price being a big concern I am running F/S Destination E2 on my Ridgelilne now. they are very quiet and provide good traction.

The OEM Continentals on the Rogue are TERRIBLE. I just went through getting new tires for my wife. We ended up with the BF Goodrich Longtrails. Night and day compared to the OEMs. You can see my thread here.

I knew someone had on here but couldn't remember who and when she had the oil change done today, she sent me a message saying I was right about the tires being about shot.

16 inch or 17 inch tires?

TireRack is your friend. Even if you buy somewhere else, they have unbeatable reviews that are great for making a decision.

215/70r16's. Stopped by Tire Barn today and got a price for Long Trail T/A's and it will be about 600 for a set installed. Probably will go with them.

As with most things, a low price tag and a quality product do not go together. Additionally complicating things, a high price tag also does not automatically mean a quality product in tires. Finally, more mileage is typically a compromise on the performance characteristics as they typically have to use a harder rubber to get the extra miles. Whatever you are looking at, check out the reviews on TireRack. You can pretty easily pick the better options from the not so good options.

Good luck! I'm buying at least one set of tires next month and trying to avoid a second set. Oh and be happy you're not shopping for 255/50r19s

I visited TireRack last Saturday and left $2000 poorer. That was 3 vehicles mounted, balanced, plus tax, so i guess that's not so bad. As we were waiting, I told my wife, you know how many guns I could buy with that 2K? She said, hmmm, maybe one? But then you would need to buy ammo, a $300 flashlight, a different stock and front thingie(I assume that's wife talk for a handguard) So basically, none.

All I could think was damn, she's onto me.

I'm always a Micheline fan for not AT or MT needs...sams club had a $70 sale a while ago, not sure if they still do or not.


Cooper road tires are ok, not great...fairly noisy
