#193 of 300 FYI: TPMS & Tire Rotation Heads-Up! by bg18947 Jan 26, 2008 (7:22 pm)
I just went through the TPMS section of the '08 G35 Service Manual. When the TPMS transmitters are activated, they are done in sequence in a clockwise fashion starting with the Front Left tire. I made the mistake of not marking the inside of my factory rims and their position before putting on the winter wheelset. The TPMS warning light blink sequence indicates which tire is low based on the activation sequence FL FR RR RL. The 18" Dunlops that came with the G35X Sport are not directional tires. I guess this means that I have a 25% chance of getting the right tire in the right position when spring rolls around. If they were directional tires, then I would have had a 50% chance of guessing the Fr vs the Rr tire. I just have to figure out which tire is low if a warning ever comes on, until I bring it back to Infiniti for a wheel rotation service. Heads Up! My first vehicle with TPMS. I'll learn from this mistake. I didn't bother marking my wheels when I put on the winter set because they had less than 100 miles on them. I didn't realize that they are activated in sequence. Now I've learned. Just an FYI for all newbies like myself.   I've put in an Ebay search for the J-45295 Activation Tool should someone have one for sale.

Replying to: bg18947 (Jan 26, 2008 7:22 pm) Okay... can you explain this to me? I did remove my wheels and they are marked so I know where they came from. I have 7,500 miles on the tires, so intended on rotating them in the spring when I put them back on. Are you telling me that I need to put them back in the same position, or that the blink sequence would be different if I mix them up?   If it's just the blink sequence, I'm not too worried. I keep a pressure gauge in the glove box and check the tires from time to time as well. If it's a matter of the sensors not syncing correctly if in the wrong location, this I would need to know.   Thanks.

Replying to: scottm123 (Jan 28, 2008 7:07 am) I expect that each TPMS transmitter has a different frequency, so when you move them the flash sequence would indicate the wheel based on the initial activation location. My guess is that they expect customers to bring the car in for a tire rotation at an Infiniti dealer where they might charge you for re-activation on top of the rotation service.   I'm not too worried. Just have to check which tire is low on air. I always pump up as well before popping the tires on between the seasons. Replies to this message: scottm123 (Jan 30, 2008 7:46 am)

Replying to: bg18947 (Jan 29, 2008 5:20 pm) Ah, I didn't know that. Personally, I didn't know there was a blink sequence and I just check them manually anywy. Thanks
#197 of 300 tires on my G-35 last only one year! by fitnessbuff Feb 01, 2008 (1:35 pm)
We have a 2005 G-35. Love the car..BUT...in July 2006 had to replace all of them. The car was barely one year old! Now..it won't pass inspection..have to replace back tires. (only 1 1/2 year old)   IS THIS NORMAL? (Feeling very Ripped off!)   Oh...the set of tires we bought in 2006...($1800)   Please tell me it's NOT normal to replace the tires every year!!!

Replying to: fitnessbuff (Feb 01, 2008 1:35 pm) What brand and model tire were they? What size are they? Where are you located? (Climate) How many miles have you driven in the past 1.5 years?   These answers can help us determine if you're getting your money's worth.
#199 of 300 16" OK for a 2008 G35x? by jeffwilson Feb 02, 2008 (6:33 am)
Please excuse the ignorant question, but I am...ignorant. I have 4 225/55 R16 Dunlop Alpina snow tires with only 1 season of use on them and would love to throw them on my new G35x to give me even better traction in the snowy Northeast. Can I do that? A friend recently told me that she put the wrong size tires on her car and her mileage was cut in half! How would 16" tires affect my mileage and/or comfort? Thanks very much!   Jeff Replies to this message: bg18947 (Feb 02, 2008 8:13 am)

Replying to: fitnessbuff (Feb 01, 2008 1:35 pm) Do you have a Coupe? If so, welcome to the club as G35 Coupes eat tires. Front inside feathering and rear middle tread wear are the norm. If you get 18,000 miles out of the rears you are doing well. The fronts can get 25,000 miles but they will get very noisey. One of the reasons after 4 1/2 years of ownership I am planning on selling my G35 Coupe is due to tire issues. This problem is only with the Coupe. The sedan is fine and 25-30,000 miles out of a set of tires (with regular rotations) is normal.

Replying to: jeffwilson (Feb 02, 2008 6:33 am) You'll probably want to check the outside tire diameter from the manufacturer's website compared to the stock tires. You also need to verfiy the offset of the rims you intend to use. Also, is there enough clearance for the brakes on 16" rims. Can't think of what else you might need to check. But, these are the major ones:   Tire Diameter Wheel Offset Rim/Brake Clearance

Replying to: fitnessbuff (Feb 01, 2008 1:35 pm) I own a 2004 G35 coupe with the sport tires package. I can ASSURE you that you will burn through tires (especially rear tires) every year or so. I was buying OEM Mich pilot rear tires at $600/pair on a yearly basis and fronts about every 1 1/2 yrs. I switched to BF Goodrich KDW 2's and saved some $$$ with no real loss in performance. This is part and parcel of owning these cars. Wait until the brake problems start...since you own a 2005, you don't get the extended brake warranty that Inifiniti gave 2003-2004 owners...
