SWEET!

I just bought some new rear tires for my G35 but will undoubtedly need another set in a year or so.

For $185 a tire @ 245/40/19 that's a bargain

About $395 shipped to my door.

I just got a pair and after insurance/install for a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 2s I spent almost $800.

Too bad they don't have the 225/40/19 I need for the fronts ... those need to be replaced within the next 2 months.

That was how I felt after the experience of have OEM RE92s on my Maxima. But after driving the Altima SE-R (which has OEM S-03s) on a couple of occassions, I would be willing to go that route.


Thanks for trying to hook me up Chief. Right before I bought my Falkens (last purchase), a rep @ Tire Rack also pointed out the disparities you posted.

I did a lot of looking around last nite and order the RE750's instead. I saved 12 bucks so that wasn't it, it was the wear rating of 220 for the s03's vs. 330 for the 750's. I have the F1's on my ZR and like them a lot, I just couldn't see putting that kind of tire on my CL. One thing I will never buy again is Kumhos. POS tires
