Winter Tires

Anyone have any advice for winter driving (other than not to drive the car at all ? What do most people do? Swap tires, swap wheels and tires? Any recommendations for winter tires?

Re: Winter Tires

The 17" Blizzak LM22's are the best choice for the coupe. I have them on ASA K3 rims. Call Dallas at TireRack. He is extremely knowledgable about the winter needs for the G.

No..... They are on from Dec 1st to April 1st. For the summer I have the 18" Pilots on the stock Infiniti rims.

Re: Winter Tires

thx-any particular reason you feel you need to buy a new set of rims? are there no good 18' winter tires? or are you just protecting your summer rims? I'd rather not have to buy new rims, do you know of any good 18 winter wheels

Re: Winter Tires

Its much easier to have a separate winter setup. Jack the car up, swap the tires....done
