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.

Ah, I didn't know that.
Personally, I didn't know there was a blink sequence and I just check them manually anywy.
Thanks

tires on my G-35 last only one year! by fitnessbuff

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!!!

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.

16" OK for a 2008 G35x? by jeffwilson

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!

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.

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

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...

I recently purchased an 04 g35 coupe. Comes with staggered tire size. Has anyone ever ran same size front and rear and is this a change that will work?

You can run 4 tires of the same size on any car.
You cannot, however, run staggered tires on an AWD system.
 
On your car, it would be fine. In fact, it's suggested to go a little smaller for winter tires... like 17's
