Or another brand?

Something not as expensive as the Michelins preferably.
Looks like TireRack reviewers rate the Avons highly. No-name brand but much cheaper. Might just go w/ those...

What you think?

the avons are made by cooper tire and they are much cheaper than the michelins.the diff is they wont have as crisp handling but they will ride smoother.btw tire rack is the only place you can get them.

thanks, btw it cost me $35 two weeks ago to get a flat tire patched at Antwerpen Nissan. Mr. Tire is re-doing it today, properly I hope, for $18.

dunno yet, probably not. gotta make these stupid tires last a little longer. driving 295's warzone pavement every day to work is taking its toll, as are the nails and staples these tires collect.

I've never used them but they have pretty good reviews online and are really really really cheap.

Are you needing 17" all season tires or what sizes are you looking for? There's big price difference going from 17" to 18" to 19".

dang, wish I'd been able to use that coupon earlier. oh well. thanks anyway.

the stock wheels on my G are 18".

I'm probably just going to ditch it at the end of the summer at get a more commuter friendly car. the upkeep on this thing sucks and im not all that satisfied with nissan/infiniti build quality or service.
