That's the thing, mine are 19 inch wheels. 19 inch tires are so expensive for some damn reason.
-2 wheels, then.

This was during that snow storm we had...couple years back+
You have coilovers on the G37, right? Just raise it up to full height and throw some snow tires on it.
Yea thats what i def need to do. I *think* i have good tread left on the stock tires meow...but yea, i think i'mma have to shell out that 1100 for some blizzaks...Kinda want to, i never had snow tires before. I know they do well, but how much better than good all seasons?

I looked up the ones that fit my G and they are over 1100.
For snow tires, you want the skinniest ones on -1 steel wheels you can round up.


I go down to 16" wheels and tires on my Audi for winter tires. Plus they are cheaper tires.

drop down to 17" wheels and tires if your car can work with that.

Snow tires aren't necessary around here 99% of the time. And 0.5% of the time the snow is so bad than nothing can drive, so my choice of snow tires over all seasons probably netted me an extra 0.5% of driving time

I have off-road apocalyptic blizzard driving ambitions for my S2k though.. and I already knew I needed something different since I won't compromise on having summer tires. For one set year round, all seasons are fine around here.

I have summer tires on my aftermarket wheels...So i guess just getting snow tires now for the stock wheels is good...it should last me a couple of seasons and pay for itself in the long run i suppose.
