I've decided to keep my stock rims for the time being. The reason is that I've heard the wheels I had chosen (RH Evolution GT5) may weigh more than the OEM wheels, and are probably not the greatest quality. I haven't seen any other wheels that I like as much, so I'm sticking with stock instead.
I am in need of a tire change though, as I already have 32,000 miles on my Murano, and the tires are getting slippery and noisy. I had originally planned to go with Pirelli Scorpion Zeros, 255/60R18, but now I'm going to go with Toyo Proxes S/T in the same size.
Here are the numbers from www.1010tires.com (the ones I care about are bold):
Rating Scale: 5 - Excellent, 4 - Very Good, 3 - Good, 2 - Satisfactory, 1 - Poor, 0 - Not Applicable
Toyo Proxes S/T (63 reviews):
Dry Traction 4.7
Wet Traction 4.4
Snow Traction 3.2
Handling 4.7
Ride Comfort 4.6
Noise Comfort 4.4
Treadwear 4.1
Overall 4.4
*Cost: $146
Pirelli Scorpion Zero (20 reviews):
Dry Traction 4.6
Wet Traction 3.9
Snow Traction 2.4
Handling 4.5
Ride Comfort 3.8
Noise Comfort 3.3
Treadwear 3.5
Overall 3.8
*Cost: $195
*Note the cost is for the size 255/55R18, as the site doesn't list the 255/60 for the Toyos. This gives a good comparison of the price difference, which is even more here in Canada.
