Let me tell you....this car does not take well to the wind. Side drafts blew this MOFO all over the place. I am guessing because it is so high in the roof area it catches a lot of the wind. It really does not feel safe..... Any one else have any wind experience with the altima???
I did notice this when I had the Stock tires on. I haven't noticed since I have the Michelin PILOT MXM4's on. This can't make that mush of a difference so probably just haven't driven when the wind was up. I'm just about to switch back to stock tires for the winter, so I note any changes I see.
