Hopefully I'm not steering biz to the local shops via these quotes.
I think my shop is trying to keep business, as my mounted/balanced/recycle-old-tires quote is on par with just tires/tax/shipping from Tire Rack.

Btw, your quote is only $5 lower than the website's.

Neal,

Looking to get a tire recommendation before the winter season settles in. I have a 2008 G35XS with 18" OEM rims, which I'm told are 225/50/18. There are a number of options on tirerack and I just can't seem to get a definitive answer on whether to settle on bridgestone, OEM dunlop, yokohama, (or any others you'd recommend)

I live in the NYC area and am looking for All-Season Tires that will perform well in dry, wet, and snow.

I am mainly looking for good overall performance in all three weather conditions as I do drive on all conditions (including some driving in the snow up to VT/upstate NY for skiing.) Minimal road noise is the secondary characteristic, followed by decent tread wear (i don't want to be replacing these after 10K miles). The current Dunlops have lasted me about 45K, just to give you a gauge but they don't have to last that long.

Upon some perusal on this forum, it seems like 235/50/18 tire size may work as well? Is there going to be any disadvantages to using this tire size if its possible and would this change your tire recommendation?

Thanks in advance for your time!

The 235 size is a bit odd really. Wider tires will take away from wet/snow traction also, so I'd just stick with the 225's you have. In a touring based tire look at Kumho's LX Platinum or Michelin Primacy MXM4. Those will be longest lasting and quietest of the bunch. On the sport all season side the Yokohama Avid Envigor or B-Stone RE760's. Both will handle corners and clear days better and provide crisper steering response. Won't last as long and will be a tad more noise vs. the touring tires.

Both good avenues to take, just depends on where you want to focus the attention.

Hello!

Looking at a winter tire / wheel setup for my stock 2006 g35 sedan. I notice a warning on the site that says 16s are not available due to the pressure sensors? Is it possible to go to 16" steelies and 4 tires?

Thanks.

We do not have a 16" wheel that will fit over the brakes properly. The brakes got a bit larger in 2005 and smallest that will fit is 17".

Stock sizes are best you can do with the 18x8" wheels. In a sport summer tire you may want to look at the B-Stone RE760's. On the all season side for longer life the Pirelli P-Zero Nero A/S would work well.
