Nissan Altima Tire Line Recommendations

1. Bridgestone Potenza S-02


Looking for a great-looking performance summer tire? The Bridgestone Potenza S-02 is original equipment on BMW, Porsche, Benz and Aston Martin models; designed for solid handling and traction, the Potenza S-02 is equally competent in wet or dry weather conditions. The Potenza S-02 incorporates a directional tread design and high-angle lateral tread grooves to move water away from the tire’s footprint. Long tread blocks and a continuous center rib offer responsive handling at all speed ranges, with twin steel belts, a spirally-wrapped cap and spiral-wrapped belt edges for long wear and ride quality.

2. Toyo Proxes R1R


Another great performance summer tire is the Toyo Proxes R1R, with a high-grip silica-reinforced tread compound and novel arrowhead tread design. The fat footprint offers solid handling on dry roads, with enhanced wet-weather traction; multi-width EVAC Channels move water away from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The channels do double duty by improving steering response and maintaining tread stiffness during hard braking. Internally, the Proxes R1R features twin high-tensile steel belts, a spirally-wrapped jointless cap and edge plies to control the footprint size and shape.
