Hi,

It's kinda really hard to find the RIGHT snow (cable) chain for my 03 G35 coupe with 245/45/18.

I tried SCC z-chain which was specially designed for the S.A.E. Class "S"(for passenger vehicles with limited clearance around the drive tires) but didn't fit at all. (like 5inches short)

I did a search by tire/wheel size and purchased the recommended size(Z-555)but didn't fit at all.

Any of you guys know the right snow chain(brands or etc.)for G35 coupe?

Planning for the trip to lake tahoe this coming Saturday so I need it as soon
as possible.



Thanks!!!

 

snow chains....you can't be serious?

in today's day and age we use these new fangled devices called snow t-i-r-e-s

 

snow tires FTW

 

Yeah your infiniti isnt a 4x4 pickup truck. You dont use chains on a sports car.

^Just hope they don't break, cuz will be saying bye bye fender.

 

Personally I would not even put them on my jeep let alone a G. haha how funny would it be seeing a G roll down the street with chains on. But what ever floats your boat man.
Thanks!

 

There are a few mountain passes in my state that often require chains in addition to traction tires during the winter. I've even seen times where chains are even required on AWD/4WD when conditions are exceptionally severe. I keep a pair with my G in the event I get caught in a chain required situation. The state patrol would turn you back or fine you if you were caught without chains when they were required.

 

Why on god's green earth would you drive in such conditions?

 

can you imagine how hard it is to put chains on a RWD?

 

Man, last time i've seen tire chains were on a really beat up cars like a pinto or something...and that was back in the 90's.

Nowadays, maybe on emergency vehicles. Unless you live in the North Pole, ugh...argh...umm..i don't even know what to say, just don't do it.

 

Those are more like cables than chains - looks like an interesting design though.

Z-555 seems to be the right size, but if they don't fit maybe give them a call and check.

 

Actually I haven't taken the G through this yet.

I normally leave that experience to my Explorer.

I have a cabin that resides over one of these passes. In winter thousands of people travel over these passes in a day so you see chains on every kind of vehicle in these conditions.

I love the snow though.

I have driven in it so much that it does not bother me.

 

don't they sell tires with metal studs in them?? I remember seeing somebody do a burn out with them and there were sparks and fire going everywhere....pretty cool

 

Wow, glad I live in South Florida. It was cold yesterday in the morning. 52F is what the car indicated. I had to use the seat heater. Good luck with those chains.
