For my 2004 Nissan Altima 2.5 S...I just changed over from my summer 17" wheels/tires(RAGE Motif & G/Y Eagle LS) to my 16" OE steelies w/Pirelli P4's. I have had the P4's for four years now(winters only) but, this will be my 5th winter coming.
I bought them not only for their good reviews/ratings but, I was looking for an all-season tire that did well in snow/ice...Yes they do! NO, not like a dedicated snow/ice tire but, very good just the same. And I don't have to concern myself with, when I have to remove them after the winter ends.
Although I don't have many miles on the P4's(~18K miles) as my wife and I aren't putting many miles on either of our cars these days. Plus we have another "summer only car" that we have enjoyed for the last 32 years. The P4's should have ~22K-23K miles on'em by the end of winter, I'm thinking! Maybe more, who knows
Man, I love these P4's and they're really nothing to look at either! The sidewall is only OK looking and the tires seem a little skinny for their size(205-65-16). The tread pattern never looked like they could get through deep snow but, they do very well...Very Well!
I have yet to have'em rebalanced since they were installed because they don't need it. And the P4's alway track nice and straight on the hiwy regardless of how I do my tire rotation...NICE!
The P4's travel through the downpour of rain with confidence and I really love the 2 center rain grooves. They are only "T" speed rated but, handle much better than some "H" speed rated tires that I have had previously including larger size tires.
It was a pleasure to reinstall the P4 on my Altima and I really like these P4's on this Altima. KEY WORDS---"This tire for this car"!
The P4's always seem quiet although I have read reviews about tire noise. Smooth and vibration free add to the splender!
They're grippy too and have slowed down the wheel spin(from a standing start) from the torque 4cyl in the Altima which overwhelmed the OE Conti's and sometimes too, the Eagle LS's in the wet.
The P4's still have ~9/32nds in most places around the tire and one tires still has 10/32nds in the center.
These tires have been discussed alot in the past by myself and others but, please comment anyway! Or not!
