Well heres my situation.. I found a G35 that is almost 2 years old, 27k miles.. guy wants 25,990 for it.. premium package, aero kit, etc... its coming from a dealership. I looked at the car on Saturday and noticed the back tires in the center are like worn down to nothing... obviously the car had some fun but being a sports car and having 27k miles and still another 2 years of warranty.. I figure nothing big to worry about? or am I being stupid there. Car is immaculate pretty much so I dont think it was just kicked and abused. The car is really clean except for this.

I told the dealer I would want new tires.. he just called me and said his boss said we will make a deal... he will knock money off the car so I can go and buy new tires... so how much should I have them knock off... and what kinds of tires should I get? Realistically how much does a decent tire cost for the G coupe, I know he wont want to give me 500 off.. so whats a realistic price for a decent tire.


Thanks guys,
Chris

What size are the rims?

Pete.. sorry.. forgot to mention that.. they are 18's ...


Chris

if the wheels are 18 which most likely they will be, then i will go ahead and say that for good tires you are going to pay are a little over 500. I would go for some Dunlop Direzza's. 225 in front and 245 in rear. They are a great performance tire, very smooth, and also very quiet. Best tire for our cars i think! ask them to knock off 550 if you can.

My dealer tried to sell me the OEM Pilots, and I would assume all dealers sell those. Just call an ask what four new tires are and have them knock that off the price. $500 won't cover the two rear tires.

I would go with BFGoodrich KDW T/A 2,s if you don't mind noise, they're a little loud.

Possibly T1R's they're pricy but not as bad as pilot.

Dunlop fm901's are also very good. Very reasonable price.

i just got a whole new set of nitto 555's for my g (18in)...havent put them on yet but from what i heard they are really good...got them for 600 shipped..not bad...search the forums and you'll find the one place selling tires for really cheap...tire warehouse or something...you can get the direzzas for 500 w/out shipping...(thats all four)...and if you live in cali shipping should be pretty cheap..anyway ill try and find the post and ill link it...

Thanks everyone for your input! Off to the dealership armed with this information to make a deal. Thank you again!
