'09 Tires?

Anyone driven or bought an '09 SE yet? Just curious if the tires are any better than the Turanza's.

Thanks

Not sure without seeing them on a car...Can't find it anywhere online, and tirerack still lists the 09's as having 17" wheels with Crapanzas on them...

Well, I'll try to report tomorrow. Car's going into service in the morning, so I'll post it here if they have any '09 3.5's.

I'm going to guess at the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 with a V speed rating. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus is also offered in that size but is W rated (168 MPH).

I'm gonna go with you on that guess on the HX MXM4's because I doubt if Nissan would put Pilot Sports on there.

The dealer had no '09 3.5SE's in stock, so it remains a mystery.

Right, talking about the coupe only. Just curious if the tires are any better than the Turanza's, although I think running on the rims would provide better traction.
