^ Check the sidewall for its max pressure. Potenza 19's are 44psi. If yours is the case, 40psi in high temps is okie dokes.

Can you say paranoid?
I wouldn't say paranoid. Especially since you are running on those beautiful JLines.

Thanks!
I've never been so happy with my choice of rims before.
I usually get bored and change them out in a year or so.
Not these.

I have checked my manual. My tires say Max 50psi. No way am I putting 50psi on stretched tires :/ I had a nail in my tire but the shop said they fixed it when they put my new wheels on. I guess I'll just put over 35 in the tires.

Never, Never put the MAX air pressure in the tires! When you drive, the heat will increase to beyond the MAX and you could have a blowout. The DATA plate on the drivers' side door jam is the OEM recommended pressure for the front/rear tires. Follow that, even with aftermarket. (unless you drag, then the rears should be low)

have your tires filled with nitrogen and you will never have a problem....nitrogen doesnt expand with heat so your pressure will not vary with temp, only if there is an actual leak somewhere...

I have rims from the factory that i've never seen on a Stock G35 before.

They are Black / Chrome Finish.

They put Eagle tires on my rims....dunno if that rings a bell for you guys.

aite.. dont feel like reading all these replies, but i had the exact same problem the SAME day i bought my G. what happened was they might have had a different set of tires/rims on the car before they sold you it and had that set pressure on the old one. uh... dont feel like explaining anymore, but basically take that **** to ANY infiniti dealership closest to you and theyll fix it. **** takes like... 20 mins to fix. if youre driving a 6spd G coupe keep your tire pressure at around 35psi. jus take it to the dealership, itll make your life a lot easier

right....quick question, what percentage of air is nitrogen again?


Gotta love the magical gases that don't expand with temperature, guess my chemistry 101 teacher should be fired....

lol w/e im not a scientist but i do know that i have never had a problem with my pressure, on stock 18's and aftermarket 19's (both filled with nitrogen)....and i know that the nitrogen prevents dry rot on the tires when they are sitting without use...
