What make/model tires come with the G35X?

What make/model tires come with the G35X sedan? Is it consistent or do they mix it up and select from two or three possibilities.

At one point I thought I concluded they were Bridgestone Potenza RE92 Tires, but dont know for sure.

Mine came with the Goodyear RS-As also. They are now sitting in my basement with only 300 kms on them, and will never be used until I sell my car, what a waste .

I took mine off also, replaced them with Nokian WR's and am in the same boat, the RS/A's are pretty poor all around. The WR's are a true all weather tire and are better all around then the RS/A's.

True about Nokians, I have used their Hakkapalettas before and they were an awesome winter tire.

For those who replaced the stock tires - can you provide more details on what you didn't like about them, and why the tires you replaced them with are so much better? Thanks.

Removed mine because it is much better and safer to run a dedicated snow tire (blizzak WS-50 on the stck rims) in the winter. I like to run a summer performance tire once the weather gets nice. I will be going to 18s.

I purchased the Nokians to use a winter tire, knowing they are an all weather tire, I wanted something in winter that would still handle and ride great and offer good winter traction. Much to my surprise, the nokians track straighter down the road, handle better, are more responsive and my biggest surprise is that they are quieter! I was not expecting this. In particular because I had the RS/A's on a new caddy I purchased a number of years ago and other then wearing quickly I thought they were all around a decent tire. Then I realized that car was a 1999, that was 8 years ago(only had the car for 2 years) and the RS/A's weren't new to the market even then, so I think its just old technology.

I had Bridgestone Turanza LS-V's on my old Acura and they transformed the way the car rode and drove, I'd like to get a set for the Infiniti in spring.
