Hello All,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL and it is time to change the tires.
Currently Tire: Michelin Primacy LC; 215/55R17 (Company fitted). It is an All season Tire.
I was thinking of buying wider tires. I like wider tires. I think they look good. Don't know how it will affect my Car though. I checked online and following 2 are closest to above tire in diameter.
295/40R17
235/50R17
I am working in Kuwait and temperature here goes up to 55 Degrees (130 F) during summer. During winter it drops to 5 Degrees (40 F) with rains.
1) Should I go with Summer Tires instead of All Season? Will summer tires be better as far as safety and comfort are concerned for Kuwait's climate?
2) Should I stick to the original dimensions of 215/55R17?
3) If I go with wider tires, which one should I go from above 2 or do you recommend any other dimension? Will it improve the handling? Also since the above 2 are almost similar in diameter to existing ones, will my Altima sensors still need to be tuned?
Sorry for the long post.
Thank you,
Regards - AG
