Txguy, first off - welcome to 'M45 Owner's Club' ! Hope you're enjoying the ride.
Since I picked up the car, my Tire Pressure has been around 35 for all 4 tires, I've also seen it fluctuate from time to time. However, the right rear passenger tire always seems to be a few below all other tires. Don't know why -- and I haven't added any air yet, but I'm keepin my eye on it !
Regarding the Tire/Wheel Protection package - when I signed all the papers with the Finance guy, he really didn't try to push ANYTHING on me - he mentioned the Lo-Jack, which everyone does, but I refused it. He then brought up a Tire/Wheel Protection package that usually goes for around $600 or so, and I refused that as well. It basically covered ANY problems with the wheels or tires that WEREN'T covered by Infiniti or Michelin (except for Bubbles of course). They finally said, 'we'll let you have it at cost if you really want it' .. I still passed, but seriously considered it, because 'cost' was only $295, and that was supposed to be for 3 years, but they'd let me have it for 4 (my lease is 39 months).
Then I starting thinking about how EXPENSIVE the tires are on the car, and the wheels are even more. When I went back to the dealer a few weeks ago, I asked the guy if he'd still give it to me for the SAME price, and he said, 'Sure'. So I did it. The thing that also sold me was he told about a lady who had hit a ditch or something with her FX45 and luckily had the package, because if she didn't the WHEEL alone would have cost her almost $1000 and the tire was another $400 (she has 20" on the FX) .. so, for a mere $300, I figured it was worth the peace of mind ...
I believe the name of the company is Beacon Automotive Industries -- it's a 3rd party company, obviously ... I'm sure my dealer isn't the only one offering it !
