Dunlop tires
#2
If you mean the allseason tires that come on the xS, they are very good tires. They do not grip the road anything liek the potenzas do, btu then again with that soft suspension you won't care. They ride quiet and soft and in my experiance do not bubble easy so I liek em.

read the reviews over at tirerack...a few people said the tires are fine...but it seems the general consensus from Infiniti owners is that they suck...same thing I feel about the RS-A...why a nice car like Infiniti comes with crappy tires is beyond me...there are much better tires for LESS money

Continental DWS is ranked highest UHP A/S tire on tirerack though only a single A traction rating...I've driven the tires on my Audi and they are awesome
Potenza RE960AS is also a great tire...again, I had the tire on my Audi before the DWS and the 960 also does extremely well
the new Pirelli PZero Nero All-Season also gets pretty good reviews but I have not driven those
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus also gets excellent reviews
I recommend the DWS over the 960 for better wet performance and also for price ($120ish each versus $160ish each for the 960AS)

If a budget is a factor, you may also want to check out General tire. It's a subsidary of Continental, which are great tires. Two of friends had General tires on their cars (a S4 and a M3) and said they were definitely bang for the bucks.

Thanks Noval for the great info .
I am thinking the Nitto Invo. Have anyone used these or heard of them? Is it safe to go to the 245/45/18 on those stock rims ?

if you are running the same size on all four wheels (225-50-18), you would go with 245-45-18...you will only be 6 tenths of 1 percent off (.6%)
