Winter Season Reminder

Hey everyone! As we all know winter is fast approaching this year and interest in snow tires has really taken off. If it's any time to be proactive instead of reactive in your purchase it's now. Buy ahead of the storm rather than during the storm to ensure the tires and wheels are available and ready for install.

With winter / snow tires mounted on their own wheels, you can install a Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Package yourself. When the weather changes, you're ready. When the seasons change again, your summer package goes back on. With it comes performance optimized for each season.

Smart
• Bolt-on traction, confidence and control
• Protect your summer wheels from winter’s salt, slush and grime
• High quality, vehicle-specific, exact fitments
• All wheels manufactured using strict quality control standards
• Alloy and steel wheels meet or exceed all industry standards including TUV and JWL
• No “universal fit” or “dual bolt pattern” steel wheels

Cost-Effective, Convenient • Inexpensive winter options make packages affordable
• Easy, bolt-on installation before the first snow
• Detailed installation instructions included
• Never pay for mount/re-mount again
• All necessary hardware (lugs, center caps, centering rings, etc.) included at no charge with most wheels.

Professional Mount & Balance
• Free scratchless mounting
• Free hidden weight balancing on alloy wheels
• Free Hunter Road Force balancing

Preferred Winter / Snow Tire & Wheel Packages
Our fitment specialists select a winter tire that best meets the performance level of the vehicle and add an affordable wheel option. Mounted, balanced and with all the installation hardware you'll need, a Preferred Package is easy to bolt right on. Preferred Packages are available for most vehicles. You can build your own package, as well.


Feel free to call me direct with any questions you have regarding winter item's for your vehicle. Mention my name online and I'll keep an eye on your order as it's processed. Let Tire Rack make winter a bit safer for you this year

Hi,

I had a few questions Neal;

I am looking to buy a 2nd set of rims for my 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe. it currently has the OEM 19" Rays Forged rims. I was looking around and I want OEM looks, so I can either get the 17" or 18" alloy rims, or another set of 19" Rays. What would be best for the winter weather, worst case scenario?

And what ratio? 225/225-F/R? Or go 225/245 like it is now?

And any particular tire for WA? Wet, cold winters with some snow and ice.

Most effective option would be a 17" combo, 225/50-17 front 225/55-17 rear. That will offer the narrowest tire sizes and best snow/ice traction. I ran those sizes on my 03 and it worked out great. B-Stone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice are the two best options we carry.
