91 Q45 Tire Specs

[kman2k1]

I just got my first flat tire (congrats to me) and I'm wondering what size tire I'll need to replace it . Also what's a good kind of tire for driving in the desert? (dry climate, not alot of stop-and-go).

Thanks.

Edit: Just drove my car home (on the flat) so I have the tire size. What's a good tire?

Well, let me suggest you read some (if not all) of the previous posts on this subject.

Generally, the few 15" tires regarded as having a strong enough carcass for the G50 are the Michelin 235/60-15 Pilot XGTH and the Michelin 215/65-15 Pilot XGTV, and the Yokohama 225/60-15 AVS dB S2.

Sumitomo, other Yokohamas, Kumhos, Continentals Conti Sport, Falken and Nitto have (or are) being used by others.

Got to http://www.tirerack.com and read after you have read the board posts.

Might want to check your rims (expecially the one you drove on) before mounting anything.

What happened to your spare?

My spare popped as I was lowering the jack. What are the chances?

NONE of the tires we mentioned [or any make brand available] are even 80% of the performance of the oem [as delivered tire Pilot Sport] in 15" sizes. The oem orginal was very soft and wore out in 15,000 miles but stopped and handled by an order of magnitude better.
