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?

Does anyone know if the performance wheels have to be installed at the factory or can it be done at the dealership? I didn't know if this package requires some kind of special calibration. Any help would be appreciated.

Trust no one and be a little proactive. First, have the service writer acknowledge in writing the exact condition of the performance wheels AND the ones they are taking off the car. Use your camera phone to substantiate each wheels' condition BEFORE they touch the car. Just so everyone is on the same page. You don't want to get into an after-the-fact dispute like I did over who did what and when to the wheels. Second, have the service writer also acknowledge in writing that your car is being dropped off with the tire pressure monitoring system intact and not warning there is already an issue. After the tire dealer agreed to pay to have 3 of my 4 wheels refurbished and the new tires remounted and rebalanced, they screwed up the tire pressure monotoring. All this to just get some new tires and an alignment. The guy who refurbished the wheels was surprised. According to him, the tire dealership and location I had selected had a solid reputation for being careful and meticulous, plus they had all of the latest equipment with wheel protection attachments to prevent any customer dissatisfaction. So I asked hi what he thought happened and he said "New employee or one under the influence." Good luck! |

Time to replace original Bridgestones (225/50R 18 & 245/45R 18) that came on vehicle with only 18K miles on vehicle! Looking for good advice on tires that will hopefully last longer! Live in TX.

Replying to: glass22 (Mar 11, 2009 6:09 pm) I had had enough of what went along with the Michelins' unquestioned quality and exceptional dry performance. They rode hard (as expected), became annoyingly noisy early on, had marginal wet weather performance, and of course (as with any summer tire) forced us to garage the car at the hint of a snowflake. Like Darrin, I also selected the Bridgestone Potenza RE960 Pole Position ultra high performance all season tires. I wanted a tire that could allow my wife and I to drive in moderate snow without the expense of dedicated wheels and snow tires for winter. This tire was the #2 A/S tire for snow and ice in the consumer rankings on TireRack's website. We were able to get through the winter up here in the Northeast, driving the car in snow for the first time. Not as good as snow tires, granted. But I wanted one set of tires for year around driving. The improvement in ride quality and the reduction in road noise was so noticeable that even my wife positively commented on it the first time she took the car out for a drive. The tire is UTQG rated at 400 and came with a 40,000 mile treadwear warranty which, based on our driving habits, we won't achieve. In Texas your needs may be different. The roads in the Northeast get hammered by the winters. The result: frost heaves, potholes, and road patches. This tire handles the imperfect road surfaces and really kicks up the enjoyment factor of the G a few notches for us. Not the cheapest tire out there, but a great alternative to consider on your sedan. |

| The G35 sedan does not have issues with front inside feathering or premature rear tire wear. You can easily get 30K out of a set of sedan tires. The Coupe is plagued with the issues discussed above. | |
