Important Info about 09 Sedan Performance wheel and tire package

The Performance Wheels and Tires package on the 07/08 sedans came with staggered Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires. Sizes were 225/50/18 and 245/45/18

The 09 Sedan Performance Wheels and Tires package comes with Dunlop Sport Maxx A1 tires. These are NOT staggered. Tires are 225/50/18 all the way around.

Small, but important distinction.

The sport package continues to come with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires, staggered.

Also, note that AWD Sport cars come with M+S tires, not the Potenza RE050A's. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me the model; I know that the xS comes with 225/50/18.

I thought the Riverside guys had clarified that Aero 1 and 2 were the rear and front spoiler and the difference was whether or not the car had the sport package. As for what it looks like the rear spoiler can be seen on the picture of the car in the reviews and the front spoiler can be seen on page 2 of the brochure.

In any case I'm pretty sure that it's a dealer installed option anyway.

I don't know which package is which combo.

They *CAN* be dealer installed, but they are technically portside options.

Does Infiniti ever include pictures of the options in the order module? When I was going over the options with my salesman back in September, he showed me the options screen on his computer but couldn't give me any details on the matte black grill, or any of the other new options for 2009. What's the deal with glass sensor?

Staggered wheels means they're wider in the back and narrower in the front. For example, the G37S Coupe has 245 rears and 225 fronts.

The Sport models come with 18 X 7.5 inch wheels on 225/50/18 tires on the front. The rears are 18 X 8.5 inch wheels on 245/45/18 tires.
