I'm no expert, but I think the Goodyears are great tires.

Just got my 05 sport last month up in the great white north (canada). Came with the Turanza's. cant say I'm impressed with the tires so far, but I'm taking them off in a week for pure winter tires. The Eagle RSA's on my wifes Matrix hold the road better than these. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Yep - of the 20+ G35 sedans for 2005 on my dealer's lot, it was about half-and-half for 18" rims... some got Goodyear NCT5, some got Turanza ER33. Auto or stick, color... it didn;t matter. There was no method to the madness.
Unfortunately, the car I wanted had the Turanzas. I've got 11K miles and they still aren't dead. I'm trying to kill them... I'm really trying...
I'll probably either go 235/40 or 245 tires... since there are hardly any tires in this stock OEM size, I refuse to pay $250 for just "decent" tires. For $250 a piece, they better... well, nevermind.

245/45-18 tires?
Has anyone here changed their tires to 245/45-18's? I did a search, but did not find a definitive answer as to whether these sized tires (sports w/7.5" wide rim) have any issues with fitment, rubbing, or uneven tire wear. Can you guys share your opinion about them?
Also, I was looking at the Dunlop Sport Maxx tires, any g owners have them?

And personally, I just didn't want the extra weight - about 3 lbs heavier per tire than 235/45/18 Conti's.
