Just got a new G35 dealer said I must put snows on it ? True

Anyone know who makes a 19" Snow for this car ?

 

please goliath, search a bit this forums...this question has been asked many many times with many threads.

The g35 coupe has high performance summer tires from factory, the thread pattern and rubber used for the tire is design for summer...

With the michelin pilot on factory 18 inches wheels I could barely move the car on 1 inches of snow.

Winter tires for the g35 coupe are NOT a option for driving in colder temperature with snow, you need them.

Now, your option are limited on 19 inches wheels, you should buy another smaller set of wheels to mount your winter tires. You will save on cost and will gain traction in snow. Be carfull because not all wheels fit on the big braking system of the g35, I dont think you have the "brembo" option so it will be less of a problem to find wheels that fit.

Good luck and dont drive the coupe in snow with the summer tires.

 

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I acted a little to hastily and bought a set of 19" OEM rims online so now I have 2 sets of rims and no snows.

Guess I shoulda check it out before buying rims.

Thanks Again

 

well, it all depend on how much cash you are comfortable spending.....

just for the price of the 19 inches winter tires you probably could buy a set of 4 17 inches wheels PLUS the winter tires.

Since you can't rotate the tires, those 19 snow tires gona wear pretty fast..

19" OEM rims will definatly look "bling bling" in the snow!!

 

i say you sell the oem 19s and get 17s or 18s, it'll work out much better..
