mmm, the tire irony is delicious...

one of the reasons I traded was I was about to drop $900 on Pilot Sport AS'. And in 225, which is a pain to get. So, I was like well, I can apply that to the downpayment as I was *just* about to do that.

the irony? the G35C fronts? 225-50-17. *AND* they wear like mad, no rotating.. (unless you want to pay $100+ each time for swapping from side to side - directional so you have to remount/balance each time). They seem to the NSX type camber issue.

Great.. If anyone needs me, I'll be hanging out at the tire store trying to make friends.

That's just great!!!

Pssst...you didn't notice this first??



Just for future reference, is this the only tire size combo on the car or is one available with uniform sizes all around...

yeah, the trade-in bug is starting to tickle...

SMOKE WHILE YOU ARE DOING SO.....keying another person's car is a Sign of TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

Don't doubt our superior intellect - our intelligence is beyond all reason...........

Just another reason to go 19" when the tires wear out.

Tim, a little OT...but did you ever move to NY? If so, do you feel releived that you don't have to worry about HID theft with the G35 or is it the same

For your sake, I hope you didn't move...it sucks here
