Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Fullway HP 108 215-60-16 Nissan altima 15 miles June 13, 2025
The edges of the tires have worn terribly in 15,000. They ride very hard.

Continental VikingContact 7 235-40-19- Nissan altima 400 miles January 29, 2022
Soft but stable handling. Very quiet and comfortable at highway speeds. Phenomenal snow and ice traction all over. Very quick braking even when ABS engages. Can carry quite a bit of speed into a turn before noticing a loss of traction. Even when traction is lost car is very controllable and will regain traction fairly quickly.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 -45-17- Nissan altima 1,200 miles December 31, 2021
I purchased my Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 tires for my AWD Altima SR. I wanted a tire that was good on snow and ice but also good on dry and wet too. I purchased them before a trip over an usually snow covered mountain pass. There was snow and ice of several inches and required chains for non-AWD vehicles. These tires were fantastic on the snow and ice. They performed beyond what I expected and when I came back from my trip there was a snowstorm in Seattle. I was extremely impressed by the performance on steep snowy hills. I would buy again.

Bridgestone Turanza GR90 215-55-17-R Nissan altima 80 miles July 18, 2017
Living in Dubai with extreme heat conditions, you have to go for best if you want to get the best performance. This GR90 is one of the best for these conditions. The best thing about them is the comfort level which is amazing compared to factory fitted Michelin Primacy DT. But, regardless Michelin was still into the game even after 79000 km on my car. The grip is also good on GR90 plus road noise is comparatively less due to good tread design and chemical compound. Would highly recommend these to anyone looking for long term and comfortable usage.

PS: I threw my car at corners and still the grip was at par.

Kumho Solus HA31 225-55-17- Nissan altima 1,000 miles February 17, 2017
Recently put these tires on my 2008 Altima coupe. Cannot believe the snow and ice traction. I have never had dediciated winter tires and always used a good all season tire year round. Usually I get around just fine, but I recently bought this car used with brand new a id envigorntiresnby yokohama. OMG!!! Never had an all season tire perform so poorly in winter in my 40 years of driving in Canadian winters. Was scared shitless to even drive the car, but finally got up enough couage one day to putz up to the tire dealer and see what we could do. Bought the HA31 all weather Kuhmo tire and was a bit nervous as I could not find that many reviews on line. I tell you, I left there in winter conditions, drove all over the city testing the traction, braking, taking fast corners, parking lots with 8 inches of snow, and these tires stuck like glue. I was Giddy, like a kid, slamming on the brakes, trying to get these tires to fail, I couldnt believe it. If this all weather is this good I can only imagine why people put on winter tires. Snow became slush and loads of water, tires were solid, no slipping what so ever. I have driven them on the dry highway, fairly quiet, going on an 800 km trip this weekend so we will see. So far, love the tires and even if I only get 50k kms out of these I will be happy just for the safety. As one writer posted on another site, if I have one accident because of stupid tires, that 1000 dollar deductable just paid for annice set of tires. Buy these, you will not be disappointed. Happy Driving.

Toyo Proxes C1S 215-65-16-H Nissan altima November 2, 2013
It was one of the worst tires ever that I have been used. Very noisy , cannot be balanced and believe me they will kill you and your family if you tried to use break extremely. I buy them for 116 $ each and they last only for less than 30000 km !

It is not worth to pay for such rubbish. I will not buy again.
