You posted the regular Journey sport package. The AWD (G35X) sport package only includes all-season tires. They also aren't staggered.

Sport Package AWD

* - Solid-magnesium paddle shifters mounted on steering column
* - Split 7-spoke 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with V-rated all-season performance tires
* - Unique front fascia and side sills
* - Front sport seats with thigh extension and driver’s power torso and thigh support
* - Unique sport steering wheel stitching
* - Aluminum pedals

Wouldnt the summer tires kind of deem the "X" pointless? I mean, the whole point of having AWD is to have better traction in bad weather conditions. Summer tires are terrible in snow. Im curious as to what the 08 G35X Sport has as well.

Evo and STI come with summer tires by default and they're AWD. AWD is not just about better traction in snow. It can be about better traction on pavement for launching and other things.

Summer tires are indeed terrible in snow, which is why you'd still swap winter tires for an AWD performance vehicle for winter.

However, given the target audience of an entry level sport sedan (especially an AWD one) all season tires makes more sense for factory, but if I were ever to get a G35X, i'd be swapping those all seasons for dedicated summer and winter tires pretty quickly. But then again, I like my RWD cars
