Nissan Sentra Tires

Since it was introduced back in the mid 1990s, the Sentra has been one of Nissan’s most successful models, and for good reason. The Sentra has a well-earned reputation for being comfortable, reliable and a strong performer that’s loaded with advanced features. The Sentra has been through a few model generations, with refinements that include improved aerodynamics, a choice of engines and drivetrains (delivering as much as 39 mpg on the highway) and interior amenities and comfort features that rival the best, priciest Nissan models. The Sentra is available with trim levels that include S, SV, SE, FE, FE+S, FE+, SL and R.

For a fairly popular car like the Nissan Sentra, it should be no surprise that there are a lot of options available when it comes to tires. Here are what we consider to be five of the best tires you can get for a Nissan Sentra:

1: Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus - Best all-season tire

First up is the P4 Persist AS Plus from Pirelli. The P4 Persist AS Plus is designed for great fuel economy and low rolling resistance as well as long tread life – Pirelli backs it with an exceptional 85,000 mile treadwear warranty. The P4 Persist AS Plus is an all-around, well-rounded all-season tire that delivers exceptional ride quality and low noise, thanks to a computer-tuned tread pitch that keeps road noise low. The P4 Persist AS Plus resists hydroplaning thanks to wide circumferential grooves that channel water away from the tire’s contact patch and angled lateral grooves that further boost wet-weather traction. Its continuous central rib boosts road manners and straight-line stability, and reinforced shoulders promote great cornering ability and long, even wear.

2: Bridgestone Weatherpeak - Best all-weather tire

The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is another strong contender here. This is an all-weather tire that’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service, with tests indicating a braking distance that’s 30 feet shorter than the competition in winter weather. Bridgestone put particular care into the design of the sipes on the Weatherpeak (sipes are hair-thin slits in the tread that enhance traction with thousands of biting edges). It’s designed with full-depth 3D sipes that actually retain their effectiveness as the tread wears down, and “snow vices” that retain snow and use it for friction and snow-on-snow contact. Bridgestone covers the Weatherpeak with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty.

3: General Altimax RT45 - Great all-season tire

Next up we have the Altimax RT45 from General Tire. The Altimax RT45 might be a less-expensive tire, but don’t let that fool you. This is a tire that’s designed for the elements with a proven all-season tread design, and General is confident enough in the Altimax RT45 to back it with a 65,000 or 75,000 mile manufacturer’s tread life warranty (depending on tire size). You can count on the Altimax RT45 to deliver year-round traction, great ride comfort, good road manners, low noise, and predictable, consistent handling and braking performance. The Altimax RT45 is also equipped with visual alignment indicators to alert a driver to wheel alignment that’s out of spec, and the words “Replace Tire” molded into the tread to display when tread depth reaches a minimum of 2/32”. Select sizes of the Altimax RT45 are available with a great-looking outlined white letter sidewall.

4: GT Radial Maxtour LX - Good all-season tire

Finally, we come to the GT Radial Maxtour LX, an all-season grand touring tire that delivers a great value and can punch far above its weight class. Along with its circumferential grooves, the Maxtour LX features additional shoulder channels that help evacuate water to resist hydroplaning. It's tread pitch is harmonically optimized to cancel out frequencies and keep road noise to a minimum and its asymmetric all-season tread is designed to provide sharp, responsive handling, cornering performance and braking on wet or dry roads. The GT Radial Maxtour LX is protected by a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty, a far better warranty coverage than you typically find for tires at this price point.
