I'm looking for a set of tires that would improve handling of my wife's 2005 Xterra S. She wants better cornering and better wet traction than the OE tires. So far, I was mostly looking at Goodyear Fortera TripleTred 265/70R16. Is it a good choice? Do you have other recommendations?

How much can the handling improve if I only swap tires and leave the original alloy rims and don't do any suspension work?

Thanks!
