Got my Winter Tires

Got Ronal R38 17" mags and 4 x 225/55/17 Toyo Garit.
After many analysis, that is the best compromise I found for my G35CM6 with Brembo.
Same size tires permits rotation, plus I save my original Infiniti mags.
Very pls with the driving, but still looking forward to the 1st fall.
I went to a place in Mtl called Talon Tire, very good service.

Re: Got my Winter Tires

BigAl,

As I asked Canadian_Idol... do you have any problems with the traction control or VDC since the tire size is different than stock? Thanks.

Re: Got my Winter Tires

I paid $1900 Cdn + taxes, but I had no real options.
Rear wheel diameter is same (26.7 vs 26.8),
in front I am almost 1" higher (26.7 vs 25.8), I wanted to have more clearance in front.
Traction control or VDC has not caused any problems so far (250 km).

Re: Got my Winter Tires

Looks nice, but isn't the tires in the front bigger than the original tire size?

Anyways, i got my winter set yesterday from Jerry, great guy to deal with and the tires look good! I even get people on the street staring at my new winter wheels right after i come out of the autoshop. Got it for 2070 all inclusive.

Re: Got my Winter Tires

Nice settup at a good price. I know others who have purchased thru Talon Tire.
I too have the same size rubber and seems to be a good compromise, with no VDC or ABS issues. Speedo is of by about 3% but no biggie.
And of course they can be rotated.
