Looking to replace my Goodyear RSA tires on my 97 Maxima SE. Looking for a smoother/quieter ride with good all season performance. I live in CHicago and our winters can get pretty bad. If you have another suggestion please let me know. My tire size is 215 55r16

the revo in Z rated fashion is best of the revo and is close to your size in a 225/55R16
but the best tire i like for your car and where you live is the Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2

Donfromnaples: Is this a snow tire or can I use it all season long?

Copied from Tirerack.com website:
Many sports cars, coupes and sedans come from the factory equipped with low profile tires mounted on the large diameter alloy wheels needed to clear their big brakes. The Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2 was developed so the drivers of these cars could retain their vehicle's original wheel diameters while blending dry road performance with snow traction. The SP Winter Sport M2 is Porsche-approved for 100% of their current vehicles' winter tire needs, and factory-recommended for use on the sport models from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen and others. The SP Winter Sport M2 is engineered to deliver performance and traction whether the road is ice & snow covered or not.

The SP Winter Sport M2 features a directional tread design to help maintain good traction on wet and slush covered roads while its high-density lateral zig-zag sipes and independent tread blocks provide the edges to help bite through snow. The SP Sport is a tire for the performance car drivers who need snow and ice traction and want to retain as much dry road responsiveness and handling as possible.

The Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2 winter radial meets the industry's severe snow service requirements. They feature blackwall styling and are available in 65-, 60-, 55-, and 45-series, H-speed rated sizes for 15" to 17" wheel diameters.

Yes, it's a winter tire. You can run it all year around, it's not going to blow up, but it will wear fast in the warmer weather.
