#30608, "RE: Nitto neo gen tires." In response to In response to 0
I had a friend who had 205/55-16 Nitto's on his Maxima and he complained on how stiff the tires were. He switched back to the Potenza's he had on originally and he liked the give and how they rode. Just personal preference of a friend. Also, to let you know, in case you didn't already, those Nitto's are going to alter your speedometer/odometer. I know tirerack.com suggests that you stay within 3% of the stock tire diameter. I have had the GSX 17's on my Eclipse for a few years now and ever since I put them on, my gauge has read slightly off. The stock diameter for my GS 205/55-16 tire was 631.9 mm. The GSX 17's diameter with a stock tire size of 215/50-17 is 646.8 mm, so you can see the difference is slight. Those Nitto's have a diameter of 570.4 mm. Pretty drastic difference, so just beware.
