My '05 G35 Coupe with the sports package is having some tearing on the inside of the front right of the tire. My car only has 40,000 miles, and it seems like I have to replace the tires every 20,000 miles!

I have summer tires on them, and I'm thinking of getting all season's. Any reccomendations?


ALSO, someone left this note on my windshield:


I thought someone may have put a bomb under there, and my car was parked in an airport employee parking lot when this note was left on my car! There has been a weird noise that I can hear when I'm driving that sounds like metal grinding on metal when I'm near a barrier, but it only happens something. Any ideas???

 

Is it a squeaky high-pitched metal on metal noise? How's your alignment? When's the last time you changed out your brake pads?

 

I would recommend Pilot Sport AS's

 

I had an oil change by Chantilly Infiniti in VA and they did an inspection and only issues they found was my belts needed changing, but no issues with brakes.

I haven't checked them myself though. I don't hear squeaking while I slow down either

 

Looks like no matter what, I'm going to be spending over $1100 for 4, huh?

I wanted all seasons

 

u can get some tires from tirerack.. u don't have to spend 1100.. i would not if u know your tires are wearing fast why spend that type of money to replace them in the 20K or 6 months. Get alignment after u put ya new tires on

 

I found these:
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

Come up to $700 after everything from tirerack

 

I would take it to a shop and put it on a lift and try to find out what is grinding first. Its not a chance that its every set of tires you buy. So its something grinding or your alignment. Oh and 1,100 is a little much for even good tires. Tire rack, or try to fine a NEXEN dealer. Get NEXEN N3000. Cheep, hold up well, smooth, good traction, and you can't hear them.

 

I don't think they're all season

 

The Continental DWS all season. Long treadlife and reasonable. The squeek might be one of the fan belts. I had to change mine at 48000.

 

Hankook Ventus V12's and Continental DW's are great summer tires for the money. My brother has some Michelin Primacy MXV4 A/S tires on his 07 G sedan and they've lasted him around 60000 miles and aren't that expensive.

 

Are you asking about what the note meant? It's just warning you about your tire. :P

 

Tires don't have shoulders!

 

I own an 04 G35 coupe. To reduce tire wear I replaced the front upper A arms with an adjustable type to reduce inner tire wear while maintaining some negative camber. Same in the rear getting adjustable bolts that have a cam adjustment. Least expensive way to go to increase tire wear.

 

I'm not car savvy enough to mess with the tire area at all. I live in an apartment complex and can't do much work cuz no garage and no tools. When I was at my folks place I used to mess with my Accord, but can't do that here with my G

I still have to go somewhere to change my oil!
