Pilot® Sport A/S Plus on 07 g35

Get I'm buying 4 tires tommrow. There the Michelin Pilot® Sport A/S Plus's. I'm paying $918.00 with a warranty for all 4 tires on top of that. My question is am I getting torn a new one? Am I getting a good deal.? Are these tires good? Im new so don't give me to much mouth alright, thank you!

That doesn't sound too bad. What sizes? I just paid $1200 for mine, but they were the big 20 inch ones in a 285 and 245

what exactly are you looking for in a tire? if your a regular driver not too hardcore you may want to consider a cheaper tire. pilots are naturally high in price..there a good tire but in my eyes overpriced

Why are they overpriced? Wouldn't I want to dish out the few extra dollars for the better tire? Even if it meant another $100.00? It's not like Im a race car driver. Just a daily car driver And I will do some highway driving here and there . It snows a lot when it snows here. My other tires were the same size but Goodyear GTs . The back have about 40% and the front are 35% but the car handled like a beast in a couple inches of snow that stuck to the ground it was quite impressive for a rwd coupe

Relax, Michelin's are the best tire you can put on your Infiniti! Not sure about the price, check with www.thetirerack.com and compare prices. I've had a lot of tires fail me but never a Michelin, that just doesn't happen. My book extended warranty's on tires are a waste of your $$....Gary

Gary, would you sill consider it a waste of money on the warranty if you live in a town that should be called PotHole City, Illinois ? Aka Bloomington, Illinois . Roads in Illinois are horrible bc this state is so corrupt they never dish out any money on the roads. I will take off the warranty if you think I'm retard for getting it. I could about 60-70 bucks if I took the warranty off

Ok........I didn't realize you lived in "Pothole City" maybe the warranty would be a great idea! Do compare your cost with what the Tire Rack offers....Gary

+1 on Michelin tires I'm running PS2's and although they are a high performance tire. They are quiet and provide a smooth ride. I quess I should say as smooth as possible with the factory sports suspension.

I seriously doubt if he could use our Michelin PS2s in Illinois, they don't do well in the frigid north/mid west or north.

Correct!!! I wasn't recommending the PS2 over the A/S. The A/S would be my choice for all season. I currently have Pirelli Zero Nero's on my Mercedes but will be switching to Michelin come tire time.
