That's the first thing I was planning on checking out!

I'll see if I can get an up close sound clip.

Can someone here find out if the Sport models will have A/S tires? The way I'm reading that guide, it appears that High performance W-rated Summer tires are part of the Tire and Wheel Performance package only.

That means I'll be able to get a G35 Sport AT model with 18" wheels but A/S tires (which are a must in the NE).

Or...

Is the case: when you order the 18" wheels (as part of any package or model), you automatically get Summer tires as well?

That way it is here in Canada Daniel is that you automatically get the W rated summer tires when;

1. You order the Sport model
2. You order the Performance Tire & Wheel package

All season tires will only come on non Sport models. Like yourself, summer tires will not cut it where I live. I will need to purchase winter tires as well. It sucks too becuase I have practically brand new 16" Blizzaks on steel wheels that I will not be able to use on my 07 Sport.

I hear you man. I want a 2007 Infiniti G35 Sport w/ all season tires too, but Infiniti probably won't offer them on the G35 Sport model so I guess I'll be getting a 2007 Infiniti G35x AWD instead. The winters in NJ suck!

Exactly my thoughts!

That sucks! I wish the sizes were the same - I probably would have had my dealer swap them for me with another non-sport...

But then again, going from a 6MT coupe to an auto sedan wouldn't make much of a difference I guess. Auto is Auto. Sport model or not, it's no 6MT anyways...

Depends on pricing, I may have to resort to AWD as well.

Who knows how long I'm going to have to wait to get my 2007 Infiniti G35x AWD after I order it in November / December. The waits going to kill me.

If you really want the sport/6MT, why don't you just get an aftermarket set of winter tires/wheels? Probably cheaper than getting AWD...

True, but I have a small problem....

It's called the bitching wife

I think I'll just take off the A/S tires I currently have on the coupe and have the dealership put them on the new 07. Then I'll just keep on going back and forth between the two sets with the seasons.

Daniel, you might need your winter tires sooner than you think.
