My J30 has 68k original miles, currently need to replace the tires. Any suggestions that will provide good performance plus good traction in moist Seattle. Thanks.

Welcome to NICO!

What wheels do you have? The Infiniti OEM (which I think were 15" x 6.5", right?

Are you looking for all-seasons or summer tires?

I'd be interested to know everyones top choice for rain/snow/etc.

I currently have a set of 20s on the J30 - but they will come off late September, so my OEM wheels will be strictly for driving in the UGLY stuff.

What tire do you think will give me the best chance in the "elements"? I live in the NorthEast, so it snows frequently!

PS: I'm probably going to pickup a little 5 speed FWD Toyota Celica for the winter - after my few first times getting stuck w/the J. I miss my AWD Talon!

thanks for the welcome. OEM's were 215/60 R 15 93H

While we have something that resembles summer for a very brief period of time, I am looking for a good all season - although snow isn't really an issue, its rain.

thx for the input

I'd also recommend looking at Bridgestone Potenza RE950 in a 215/60HR15: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ace=6

They are not snow tires, but should handle well in wet weather.
