Hello! I've been lurking around these forums for several months now and this is my first post to the board! I live in Vancouver and I am interested in purchasing a G35C in the near future. However, realizing that the MT G35C only comes with 18" Rims + Summer Performance Tires, I wonder whether this combination is suitable for driving all year in Vancouver? Surely, we do have some occasional snow in the winter, but we mostly just get rain, rain and more rain. I really don't want to switch to winter tires and back to summer tires all year round.

Another question that is somewhat related. If the 18" Rims + Summer Performance Tires are not suitable for the Vancouver weather conditions, is it possible to use the stock 17" Rims + Tires (those All Season Tires from the 5AT) to the MT G35C? I am no tire expert or anything but from what I've read, I think the tires have to at least clear the Bremo Brakes and at the same time not cause any malfunctions to the onboard electronics. Is this a viable option? Can I request dealers to perform this switch? Moreover, will this void the warranty??

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
