Hello Guys...

I have done a bit of search already but I guess this question is too rookie that no one ever bothers asking here....:P

Can anybody tell me what's the correct size/spec of the winter tires for 04 G35 Coupe 5AT (non-brembo)

I checked the user manual and it only mentions that the standard tire size is 225/50R17 Front and 235/50/17 Rear..

So i am wondering if there's a difference in size between winter tires and standard (17") summer tires????

and also.. in all your expert opinions, what brand would you recommend that has the above-the-average quality and reasonable price????

I am currently runnning with 225/45/18 front and 245/45/18 rear summer tires.....

thanks in advance, guys...

You should have your exact tire size on the inside of your drivers door.

For Winter Tires...I use Blizzaks

Use the recommended size.....I have Dunlop Wintersport M3's. They last longer than Blizzak's and handle pretty well too.(for those mid winter dry spells:)) They will cost around 175$ (front) and 220$ (rear) each at tire rack. Their prices were better than a dunlop dealer for me.
