If it's recent, odds are warm water and soap will be fine.

If it baked onto the car, however... yeah, that's fun. G'luck.

FWIW, this months Car And Driver had an comparison of the P4S, the Continental and a couple other summer tires. The Michelin narrowly beat the Continental.

It doesn't look like the article has been uploaded to their website yet.

Yeah it sucked, came off the glass easy enough but I spent the whole day today clay baring, then polishing out the whole car with the dual action and then waxing. At least it's shiny now...
It also made my realize how many chips are in my paint.

Cut yourself some slack, it's a 10 year old car, and it's driven. You can't keep a car in perfect condition unless you don't drive it.

Honestly, if I wanted to walk around every square inch of my car, inside, outside and in the engine bay, I could come up with a laundry list of gripes. Granted, most of them are pretty insignificant, because overall I think my car is freaking awesome, but you get my point.

Yeah, its old. Honestly I'm surprised its in as good shape as it is all things considered and with all the 115k miles of mostly highway. At least the interior is still pretty much flawless.

I just picked up my G37S. I already have wheels on standby (20x10) and I will begin my debadging and dechroming tomorrow.

I had an 08 Altima SE (6MT) and fortunate for me, my G has the same lug pattern, so I will install these...

I like those and the color you've chosen. I assume your G is a sedan too. What are the offsets on the wheels you'll be installing? They look pretty aggressive on the Altima

Agreed. I suspect they'll look really interesting on his G.

Looks like a 6.0 Gen Maxima and 6.5 Gen Maxima got together and spat out that modded Altima.

Thanks! Yes, my G is a black sedan.
My wheels are 20x10.5 et28. I just realized my original post stated "20x10". Oops!

LOL! A lot of people thought it was a Maxima.

Pretty darn close. I hope they clear the front calipers without any issues. The deep concave design has me a bit worried.

I decided to finally purchase a dashcam since I'm moving back to NJ on Thursday. Went with the Street Guardian V3 and Power Magic Pro hardwiring kit.

10.5 +28 is really going to poke outside the fenders, my 9.5 +38 are a few mm outside the fender edge when looking straight down, yours would be almost an inch further out than mine

^Dashcams are the best, peace of mind and you can capture some interesting stuff. Today on my way home I saw a CR-V on it's roof.


So this morning I noticed some weird grinding noise, then on the way home it was way worse, pull it apart and see this. So i went over to Advance and got a set of new rear akebonos..... Seems one caliper got stuck.
