Replying to: ghstudio (Jul 16, 2008 8:09 pm) Thanks for your advice. I took it back yesterday and the dealership offered to buy new tires. Does anyone have a recommendation? I want tires that will keep the car on the road without me having to get a workout while trying to drive. Replies to this message: sadmom (Jul 20, 2008 6:22 pm)

Thank you soooooo much! I decided on Yokohama Avid W4S tires. Does anyone have experience with that tire on a M35? Replies to this message: sadmom (Jul 26, 2008 8:31 pm)

The dealer installed the Yokohama tires and I'm shocked at the difference they have made!! The ride is silky smooth and the noise is dramatically reduced. I'm not sure how the tires will perform in rain or snow, but I'll update once I've driven in those conditions. I am so happy that this worked out.
#132 of 188 Mismatch Tire Brands by oz44 Sep 13, 2008 (5:04 pm)
Hello all,   I was hoping someone could help me out with which way I should proceed. I recently bought a Certified 07 M35x that came off of a 2yr lease. I've had the car for about a week now. I just noticed that there are two different pairs of tires on the car. The two front wheels have the Goodyear RS-A's on them and the back two wheels have Hankook Ventus V4's on them. They're all 245-45-18 though. All four tires have fairly good tread left on them.   Do I have any ground to ask the dealer to give me a complete matching set or offer some type of discount for a new set? Or am I screwed for not noticing the difference before I bought the car. If the dealer won't do anything about the tire brand difference should I keep them. The ride isn't the greatest as far as road noise and vibration. I'm comparing this to the ride of the G35x that they gave me while my car was being serviced.   Thanks for the advice!

Replying to: oz44 (Sep 13, 2008 5:04 pm) Read the owner's manual...I'm pretty sure that it states ALL tires must be the same brand and type. This is more important on the all-wheel drive versions than rear-wheel only, but can be a safety issue on either as it will alter the front/rear grip and braking. Also, there is a spec about the real diameter...it's pretty tight, I think like 1/8", and you may not have that with different brands, or even different models from the same company. That's why on all-wheel drive cars, it becomes expensive, as you often need to replace all four tires when you have a problem with one. Replies to this message: oz44 (Sep 13, 2008 6:19 pm)

Replying to: oz44 (Sep 13, 2008 5:04 pm) If you bought this car from an Infiniti dealer and if it is certified then definitely go back and get four of the same tires. ABS systems can be dangerous if you don't have the same tires on all four wheels.   Push the dealer to give you four of the same tires.......a certified car should meet the manufacturers requirements as stated in the owners manual....   If they won't do it, escalate to Infiniti. Tell them that they are liable if there is any problem/accident caused by tires that don't match. Someone will give....

Replying to: james27 (Sep 13, 2008 5:42 pm) Thanks! I just looked at the manual and you're right. I will use this info when I talk to the dealer.
