OK, so the girlfriend wanted the 2010 g37s, so the girlfriend gets one.
(traded in her dodge ram daytona = THANK GOD..)

Unfortunately for those who own this car, we know that this car comes with SUMMER TIRES.
So living in new jersey, with last year receiving 2 storms with over 2 feet of snow each, i knew this 6mt, on summer tires will not do. I got a hold of a few sets of 2010 G37s(4 door) rims(brand new) and i offered her a set(thankfully, the girlfriend reluctantly went along with my idea).
These us 225/50-18(Front) & 245/45-18(Rear) tires, and at that size, they are much, much cheaper then winter tires or all season tires for original 225/45-19(Front) & 245/40-19(Rear).
Plus beating these rims up, and getting salt on them, well- frankly isnt so upsetting. I ended up mounting 2xx/55-18 perelli winter tires all around on the 'winter' rims to help elevate the vehicle a little. It actually raised the car by .7 of an inch over the stock rims & tires so piles of snow wont be an issue for her as much now!

SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

 

I couldn't even get up a small incline with 6 inches of snow with
my 37s... put some heavy sandbags in the trunk at least
i gave up on winter driving in this car. good luck

 

thats funny, but true-
im going to take out her spare tire, and put in sand-bags, as well as sand bags into the trunk's sides.

my buddy last winter with his bmw 550i, couldnt get out of his apartment complex. poor guy got stuck with his RWD in the parking lot.

 

There are at least a few threads regarding winter tires. From my experience a RWD G37 with good winter tires is much better than a FWD with all-seasons and allows you to drive the G37 well even in snow.

 

I drive my G37S 6MT all over the place in winter. Lowered on eibachs, 18" setup with michelin X-Ice Xi2. I am facing nice and harsh canadian winters by the way. With conservative driving and control of the clutch and gas pedal you can get anywhere with this car...

 

are those qbturbo's wheels? they dont' look that bad... i did the same thing and threw my sedan wheels on my coupe

i dont have the bbk's so i was fine


it's functionality that is important

 

no i got a hold of a few sets of OEM infiniti rims, and i figured id use one set on her car.
