I've found the OEM's just don't cut it in the Northeast here with the snow and all

. I had some Toyo's Proxes 4 on my other vehicle and it seemed to really grab the ground well. It's rated high with a 300 AA A rating although I've yet to place them on the Altima. Just needed to get a "plug" in one tire and I didn't like the way the tires handled in the snow so I'll be stopping by the tire store soon I'm afraid
