Snow Tires for the 04-07 Maxima
 

To my fellow 04-07 Maxima owners, I wanted to ask from you those who rock snow tires on your Maximas, the recommend speed rating for tires on the Max are "V", have any of you guys or gals considered substituting "T rated" snows for "V rated" snows?

I live in MA and due to the size of the car as well as my driving style I want to put snows on my 05 maxima however I only roll with Hankooks and her tires come in T and V rating? My previous car was a 98 GS300 and I rocked V rated (W400) snows on her, made all the difference, now the problem is that most of the "V" rated tires (W300) currently on the market now have tread designs that aren't quite snow aggressive like my previous "V" rated tires, and see that the T rated ones have a more aggressive tread that I have been used to, but with a rating "T" which is about 3-4 steps down from "V" and I am worried that this may make the ride of the Maxima unsafe. Any advice or suggestions are welcomed...
