Recently fitted a set of 225 Exaltos to my M30, it showing about 170K miles, replacing some Yokos! Tire Rack had them on sale last spring w/ $70 rebate from Michelin, so I bought and kept in garage until returning to winter home when I had them installed. I have tried other brands, but I keep coming back to Michelin! Have 235 Pilots on my Q, still lots of wear left per the tread wear bars, but, pushing 8 years on them hating to have to put on 225s! They are on Fittipauldi wheels which are showing their age, but mechanic says they are some of the truest wheels he has ever worked with! Decisions, decisions!

Averaged over 21 mpg on recent near-1,600 mile trip, most at highly illegal speeds! No a/c needed, though, even contending w/ snow in eastern Tennessee! The Q continues to impress me as one of the finest road cars ever built!

Welcome to NICO!


I've had good experience with Michelin over the years.

Recently I racked up 83,000 on a set of 17" M/S SUV tires on my 4WD truck. I could have pushed another 5 or 6 thousand miles out of them -- I just said enough. I replaced them with the Lattitude Tour at over $200 each. I know those tires are really not for an Infiniti unless you are talking SUV -- but 83,000 miles out of any tire is good service in my book.
