FWIW winter pkgs in TO

I found this while checking G35 things on Kijiji. I have not used these guys and know nothing about them, other than their pricing seems on the low end.

seems like decent pricing. I don't know much about either of those tires, but the pics look promising.

Good find Sam, if someone needs a winter package it is definitely worthwhile checking out.

thanks for the post!

Since im pretty ignorant when it comes to wheel packages/pricings, can somebody help me on this:
-Will the non-brembo package fit my 07 coupe?
-Is this a descent package in terms of tire quality (safe for winter?)

I finally gave in this weekend and got an 08 mazda3 for the winter, and thought of garaging the G, but i cant imagine not driving the G from end of Nov. to mid-march . So im looking to putt on a set of winters, just in case i had the urge - but not a lot of money left after the mazda purchase, so im looking for the cheapest package possible.

thanks for the help.

With a good set of winters, the G35 even with 6mt is definately driveable. I have blizzaks on mine and they grip very well......i can't remember the ones i put on but i think it's lm-22 but it's the one made for fresh snow since i'm in the burbs

Nice winter car - the mazda3 should prove to be quite fun.

One thing I'd stress is VDC ON! if you're going to G the snow at all.
