Now have 5K on Nitto Motivos on a 2003 Max GLE. Replaced Yoko Avid Envigors due to sidewall damage. Unbelievable ride improvement over the harsh Yokos and the infamous stiff ride of the GLE. I will be putting 245/50/17 on my G37 soon. Great job Nitto!!!!

Nissan's pretty good at choosing extremely terrible OEM tires for their cars (especially the performance-oriented ones). I'm not sure if they just choose the harshest riding ones to give artificial impression of "sportiness" or what.

Of course...it could be worse. Ford slaps the cheapest Hankooks they can find on everything. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it absolutely does not work.
