#171 of 188 run flats vs low profile non run flats by jvsb May 03, 2009 (6:59 pm)
I have a 2006 M35Sport. I replaced the first set of tires with another set of Potenza run flats and only have about 17000 miles on them.. They need replacement. Has anybody switched to the low profile non run flats and if so have you had any problems. I know I have to get a spare but that should be cheaper than the run flats although a bit of a problem with space in the trunk. Any other suggestions for tires? Any thoughts on the Federal 595. thanks. jvsb Replies to this message: shmang (May 18, 2009 4:29 pm) turley99 (May 21, 2009 7:35 am)

Replying to: golfgod2 (Jul 25, 2008 4:29 pm) Do you still like the Generals? I have 30K on my 2006 M35x and have to make a tire decision. Generals seem the most cost effective and have a high rating. Replies to this message: barryend (May 16, 2009 5:48 am)

Replying to: gluckmanm (May 16, 2009 3:32 am) I replaced the OEM tires with Continental Contact Extremes. The were excellent in the rain and winter and reduced the trammeling caused by the M35X inherently defective design. They had an aggressive tread but were not as quiet as some less aggressive tires. Every thing is a trade off. My priority was go in snow and safety in the rain. Lease on 2006 M35X was over 2/09 with 44,000 miles. Dealer replaced steering rack at 25,000 miles. Helped but no cure.

Replying to: jvsb (May 03, 2009 6:59 pm) Personally, I would never use run flat tires. Everything is a trade off. You get better tires for the same amount of money that you spent on run flat. I would just go buy a can of FixFlat and put in the trunk and be done with it (Ok, I will replace it every 6 month to make sure it is still effective). That is still cheaper and the regular tire will provide you better performance IMO. Replies to this message: turley99 (May 21, 2009 7:35 am)

Replying to: shmang (May 18, 2009 4:29 pm) After 10,000 miles with the OEM Goodyears which I hated, I switched to Bridgestone Potenza Re 960AS Pole Position tires and it was an amazing improvement. Much quieter, smoother, better wet and dry cornering....a superb tire. I have 45,000 miles on them with at least 7,500 miles left. These tires bring out the performance and ride qualities of the car.
#176 of 188 Motoring the infiniti M for tire longevity by mltsurger Sep 12, 2009 (6:43 pm)
Shmang,What happened to bobica and his long tire mileage project. You two seem to have gone at it,but it has been a while.I also drive safely but the M is made to enjoy.I have the M45X and have tried on back country roads to utilize my tires to hold the road in a corner at no more than 130-140.Has anyone found the electronic limiting at 155.I would hope that would only come on a closed track and a straight- away or gentle turn.

Replying to: mltsurger (Sep 12, 2009 6:43 pm) Well, it is just ridiculous... It is hard to believe someone will put hard tires with 80K warranty on M and I was pointing it out that this is not the normal case for most M drivers. and it backfires so I was just trying to fix that.   As far as the speed, I have not taken the M over 130 either - even we do have the road to do it here in Dallas area. There is a new toll road just opened with NO speed limit and on Sat. morning, it is pretty much empty ($4.8 for a 5 mile drive), so me and a buddy tried it there twice (me in my M45 vs. him in his MB E350) - not a race but just a high speed cruise and reached 130ish, the speedo says 138, but at that speed, I am guessing it is more like 132 or so (due to the tire slipping). It was fun though.
#178 of 188 M45 driving by mltsurger Sep 14, 2009 (2:10 am)
Was the M smooth or was there a fair amount of front end movement.I had tried going a little fast with my M but found some movement..I then went to the dealer and had the wheels balanced and a front end alignment.Then no problem.I wonder if I can get 80K out of the tires.
