I don't see them mentioned much on any site but I bought a set of General Exclaim UHP tires from Tire Rack. Actually it's my second set of these. I have a 2005 G35X and these tires are awesome. They are quiet, they hold the pavement like glue and they have a wear rating of 390. And the price is reasonable at $123 per tire (I think they are now $128). I bought a set of aftermarket wheels and I installed the tires on those rims. I use the factory rims and tires (Goodyear) for the winter. I highly recommend checking these out. My previous set of summer tires (they came with the rims) was a set of Pirelli P Zero Nero's. Same size as I bought, 245/45/18. They worked well enough but they were noisy on my car. My son has a set of the same model on his 300ZX and they are quiet for that application. So maybe another good choice.

G35 Replacement Tires by jwf3

Just a note for those replacing original equipment tires on 2007 Infinit G35. My original equip. Bridgestones on my G35 Sport didn't get 18,000 miles! These tires aren't worth a ____.! I did some research and replaced them with two 225/50-18's for front and two 245/45-18's for rear. These tires are the best buy out there and ride and handle great. I've had them 3 months. Got 'em at Discount Tire. Just trying to save you other G35 owners time and money.

Sorry, forgot to mention the replacement tires names--Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums. These are all weather tires.

What is the wear rating on those> I put on the Goodyear F1 all season tires. Have over 13k miles on them with a lot of wear left. Will definitely last longer than the Bridgstones (only got 16k out of them). However, the tire noise is increasing, which is a bit of a bother. Nothing extreme and can put up with it for the extra life. But just curious about the Kumho's. Pass along any info if you can.

I'm with you, Darrin. Do you drive your car in snow? See posts 250 and 255.
 
I have an 04 auto trans Coupe with the 18 inch wheel package and replaced the OE ultra high performance Michelin summer tires with the same Bridgestone Potenzas you have. I live in snow country and wanted to be able to drive the car year round without monkeying around with dedicated winter tires and rims. Giving up some dry traction grip was an easy choice for me. Yet the dry traction performance will pleasantly surprise even the most die-hard the summer tire advocates.
 
I am happy that others have had good luck with other brands of all season tires on their Gs, but I felt most comfortable choosing the Bridgestones based on the TireRack owner surveys and the TR staff road tests. Only the Michelin A/S topped the Bridgestones in ice, moderate snow, and heavy snow applications, and for far less money.
 
Granted, these are not snow/winter tires. But for the first winter since I took delivery on the car starting back in 2003, I can actually venture out with the car in the snow. The ride is more pliant and the road noise has been mitigated as well.......so much so that my wife noticed right away. I have yet to test the car in the deeper stuff (5"+) before the roads have been scraped to the road surface. But so far so good. I have yet to add weight to the trunk, but I expect that will be necessary eventually.
 
In addition, I can't rotate the tires front to rear because I wanted to maintain the offset sizing on the Coupe (wider rears). But the wear mileage you are getting is quite encouraging.

The G35 Coupes go through tires like candy. I'm planning on replacing my rears with the General Exclaims for a price of around $120 each delivered from Tirerack. They have gotten a good rating and most important should last somewhat longer than the factory RSAs which are crap on the back of my car but work well on the front. Front feathering is a major issue on the Coupes which cause horrible road roar after 8,000 miles. Tires are the biggest expense of ownership for the G35 Coupes.

I don't know about your coupe but when I traded my '05 coupe w/ about 18K miles, it still had about 50% thread left.

Has anyone run 245 45 18's on all four corners of a 2005 Infinity G35 sedan? Does the tire fit under the front fender?
