I've heard the Nokian's are amazing tires, but haven't tried them out myself...

For comparison sake, someone wanted to know the price for 4 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25's with alloy rims (18 inch) for G37. Dealer charges $2817 tax included for the package that includes the 4 tires, 4 rims, mounting, balancing, installation, all the proper winter wheel nuts and valve stems and they are throwing in 4 totes to store your summers.

A few of the dealerships I contacted seemed to be pushing the Toyo tires? Anyone have experience on Toyo winters?

I am in the process of getting my second G.....my wife drives a 07 G35x and I am getting a 08 G37S, I can't wait!!!

As for the Toyo tires, I was using them on the G35x and I am also purchasing them for the G37s....I think they are great tires. I get them from tirecraft upon the recomendation of my tire guy. I also see that the Infiniti dealer here is also pushing them. So far, great tire, no issues.

Check out this thread for my pricing from tirerack.com last year;
along with a quick "how to" on swapping summers and winters.

those are nice rims for winter, considering it looks very similar to the stock rims.

LOL -- I have the exact same rims, but have Nokian WR G2 tires in 235/50/18. I should take a picture of them when I get a chance.
