Best All Weather Floor Mats?

Weird question? Haha, I'm wondering what floor mats do you guys run and what floor mats do you guys prefer? I'm getting tired of this rug-like mat because it gets dirty VERY fast. I'm looking for a floor mat that is all-weather. What do you guys recommend? Where can I pick it up? Thanks for any response!

I have the OEM ones that are very heavy duty and work great, that would be my recommendation. You will probably hear weather tech too but they are hit or miss and not as heavy duty as OEM.

I've got OEM in my G and Weathertechs in both of my SUVs. It's not even close- Weathertechs are MUCH better. Better fit, better design, higher quality. The only positive to the OEM's- they read "Infiniti G" and they match the stone colored interior.

Wow ... totally disagree. The OEM are think rubber, fit very well. The only thing about the weather techs is they travel up the sides a bit to hold a lot of liquid. The OEM have plenty of depth to handle a spilled coffee, etc.

Yes, I agree they have better coverage .... unessesary coverage IMHO. I don't think you need a floor mat that can contain a gallon of liquid. The weather tech material is much thinner than the OEM ones. Do a search here on MyG37 and Google and you will find many complaints that the mats don't fit well from person to person for the same vehicle. One person may say if fits well and someone else says they don't, for the same car.That's hit or miss, again IMHO and I think I have yet to read a positive review for their customer service if you need them. Lastly, I do own a weather Tech product for the back of my Xterra as Nissan doesn't make one.

No unessesary to cover up the sides of the center hump .... OEM covers where you place your feet just fine. They have the SAME coverage as the carpeted mats and that's what the OP was complaining about getting dirty. It's obvious I like the OEM ones, you like Weather Tech ..... you are not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours so lets leave it at that.

the OEM mats provide ample coverage and protection for 99.9% of users, all the while providing a perfect factory fit and finish for the G37 style. in the rare event that large volumes of liquid or snow accumulate then i suppose the added depth of the weathertech mats would be an asset. however, i would certainly never let the situation get that bad in the first place. i'd be shaking out the mat on a weekly basis, or more, if snow/water/crud were building up.

to each his own. many of us prefer the OEM mats. others prefer aftermarket offerings. whatever.

I love my Maxpider mats - better coverage than OEM and more premium looking than Weathertech. They're quite light and easy to clean as well.

I love my Weathertechs! The only thing that could make them better is if the rear was one piece and covered the driveshaft hump also.
