Best Winter Snow Tire For Nissan Altima
The best winter snow tire for the Nissan Altima is the Michelin X Ice Xi3. Owners give the tire a 4.8 out of five stars rating overall. The X Ice Xi3 comes with a 40K mileage warranty and a six-year limited time warranty. Expect to pay a bit under $200 each for these tires, get four, and budget about $100 per season for mounting and balancing.

Here is a review written by an owner of a similar sedan who purchased these tires: "I drove these tires in every winter condition possible. They tires live up to the Michelin name! I just drove through a horrific Canadian snowstorm and these tires came through! It could be a bit better in icy conditions but I would definitely commend these for winter!"

Value Opportunity - Nissan Altima Winter Tires
One other great choice for the Altima is the Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 winter snow tire. The WS80 earns similar good reviews from many satisfied owners. However, it is being discontinued and replaced by a newer tire model called WS90. If you can source the WS80 locally for under $150 each they would be a great deal.
