Replying to: hlanglois (Oct 19, 2008 7:01 pm) The higher profile tile would be close to 1" larger in diameter, and throw the speedo off by about 1%. If you have the nav system, it should autocalibrate. That extra inch may mean the tire will rub when turning or if you hit a large bump. This could poke a hole in the tire.

This Place   http://www.onlinetires.com/   Has 4 ContiExtremeContact for under $500 and cheap shipping does anyone know if this is a good deal and if these are as good as the original tires? Replies to this message: barryend (Nov 03, 2008 2:15 pm)

Go to local tire store and show them the on-line price and see what deal they will cut. Make sure you don't lose the wheel lock key like I did.
#145 of 188 M35 RWD and winter driving/tires by bobm35 Nov 05, 2008 (7:11 am)
I am considering getting an M35 RWD and I wonder how bad it will be to drive it in Michigan winter? Anyone care to share their experience driving M35 RWD in semi-harsh winter conditions (Midwest, not Alaska) ? Do winter tires make it better to the point of being managable? TIA !

Replying to: bobm35 (Nov 05, 2008 7:11 am) I have driven both a miata and a BMW 3 series during snowy winters commuting about 30 min each way in Connecticut. Both cars are reputed to be poor in the snow and ice. I never had a problem....but the key is to put four good snow tires on the car...not 2, not studded, not heavily worn and built to grip in the snow/ice with soft rubber. At the time I used Blizzaks. Of course you have to be careful not to spin the wheels and keep your speed even.   Of course 4wd cars are better in the snow......however, I have also driven Jeep Cherokees and Grand Cherokees to/from Vt and it's the only car that I lost control in on an interstate....in fact there were a few days with black ice that many jeeps spun out...I was far from alone. Nothing helps in black ice...and actually a 4wd car is more likely to spin out because you are over confident. In heavy snow, a Jeep is just wonderful....   My view is that 4 good new winter tires make any car manageable in the snow.

Replying to: bobm35 (Nov 05, 2008 7:11 am) All-season tires are a compromise all seasons. Good snow tires can make a huge difference in traction not only when the roads are nasty but anytime the temperature drops below 40-degrees F. All-wheel drive can help you get started and maybe grab some traction in a turn, but nothing beats the laws of gravity. Stopping would be the same, regardless of the number of driven wheels (with the exception that the 4-wheel version is a little heavier).   Apparantly on the 2009, the M35 gets the new transmission and engine; the M35x gets the engine, but keeps the old 5-speed.
#148 of 188 recommended tires by kelvin0057 Nov 19, 2008 (8:56 pm)
I have an 06 M45 and just placed a set of Bridgestone Turanzas and I have been pleased. I have a sport and they softened and quieted the ride. The also handle decent and are pretty good in the rain. They also seem to have solved a steering problem that me and other sport owners were having. They don't make them in the OEM size so you have to go up one which the dealer opposes. Tires are great and the only drawback is the price. $1400 for the set!!!!!
#149 of 188 Anyone tried > 45 tires? by webada Nov 28, 2008 (7:45 am)
So I just got an 08 m35x, I've never owned a car with size 45, goodyear. the ride seems rough and sensitive to road conditions. Can the car handle thicker tires? like 50 and above? would this help to give a more comfortable ride? Replies to this message: tsol (Nov 28, 2008 2:03 pm)

Replying to: webada (Nov 28, 2008 7:45 am) Yeah, I've had both an early '06 and late '07 M35x both with stock Goodyear RS-As and find it aggravating that my wife's FX is much more stable on-center.   Supposedly there was a steering rack replacement fix for the '06, but my '07, now, after 15k miles is as bad as my '06 was. Hope someone figures it out someday ... tires or suspension???
