I have a '91 Q45 T, low mileage, suspension in very good shape (new steering rack, upper control arms, rear shocks, prob could use front soon). Bought 17x7.5 five spoke take-offs from 99-01 q45T. Consensus of the Inifiniti board is for 245/45/17's. I'm looking for all season tires and would like to hear some suggestions from the experts in terms of brands.
Thanks
Suggestions for tire brand, Infiniti Q45

Looking for ...
Summer Performance
OR
All Season Touring/Compromise
I've had the above mentioned BFG's (All Season) & Bridgestone Potenza RE's (Summer Performance), can't say that I noticed a big difference in everyday driving, but I may go back to true Performance and get some winter tires for the cold season.
Others will weigh in, as Jeff already did, he likes his Sumitomo HTR+.
(NOTE: All these prices are from NICO sponsor - Tire Rack)

The Falken tire that AZhitman uses is available, and don't forget the Firestone that Maxnix uses. Search on both guys and I think you'll notice favorable comments for both tires, even though their size isn't identical to your's. Still, these are two brands you should research heavily: Falken & Firestone.
