New to the g35x here, but I noticed that when I am making U turns unless I am going really slow, I hear screeching tire sounds. I don't think I am going that fast (atleast compared to my old rwd maxima) so I was wondering if this is an awd car trait or if it can be an indication of something else (wheel alignment being off, malfunctioning awd, etc)

Any and all feed back would be appreciated... I have no idea how a 2008 g35x is supposed to handle...

As long as you don't feel the car pull or shudder while you turn, it should be OK.

its the front tires you hear... the awd shift power up front to "pull" you out of the hard turn... but with better tires it wont screech

I guess these hankook tires the dealer had on it are the lower end of tires huh? I knew there was a catch when they gave me new tires lol

if they are the V12's, those are actually pretty good tires.

You had a RWD maxima?

:crazy:

Anyways I never had this issue. Even when I had my OEM tires bald as hell. I tailed more but other than that no issue. Of course I pushed it more too. Kind of liked it that way. Just keep it quite before all this guys with the RWD come and tell me something weird. :rotflmao

I also would check if they installed the tires right. Directional tires to the right direction etc.
