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.

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! Chris |

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: dulfelder (Sep 14, 2008 5:30 am) While you have to be pleasant, I think that being firm will get a set of matching tires. You might even be able to sneak it in under the used car warranty and get the tires replaced. They could just swap them with another used car on the lot. If not, I would personally buy two new matching tires and take the dealer to small claims court. It will not play well when you show 1) the car was a "certified" used car; 2) It was purchased from an Infiniti dealer; 3) the owners manual says that the tires must be the same; 4) the car has mismatched tires. The dealer will hide behind the fact that certified doesn't address anything other than tire depth...but I suspect I would win based on the sheer simplicity of the logic. Now if there was an accident where the tires came into play, the lawyers would just have a field day with this one.... |

I need to replace the RSAs on my M35x. I've seen many advertised replacement tires (ContiExtremeContact, Michelin Primacy, Potenza RE960, Yokahama Advan S.$ and Avid W4S, Eagle GT's and on and on). I won't put RSAs back on the car, but would like to get opinions from others who've put different tires on your M35 and what you like/dislike. I am in the midwest, so I'm in wet, dry and a little snow, and drive the highway at higher speeds 50% of the time.
