Dude, get some tires you like and just break down and by the spare tire kit. That's what I'm going to do. Then you will have a choice wait for roadside or change it yourself and keep going.

Here's the spare tire/whl info: T145/70R18 tire and 18X4T wheel, it will have to be ordered thru the dealer.

its cheaper and more cost effective to go get a spare tire kit.

the run-flats are way to expensive and a huge hassle, and furthermore they are heavier, and noisier.

If you are looking for an all season tire, I highly recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 2. For an extreme performance tire, I would consider the Goodyear Eagle F1- I have heard very good reviews...

Just a few quick Qs regarding your current tire wear issues:
Are your tires wearing evenly across the face of the tire? Are the fronts shot as well as the rears or just rears? Are the outside edges of the front feathered?

Do Goodyear do the Eagle F1 in the sizes we need? I ran them on my 350Z and would love to put them on the G. Best tire I ever had. The Z on the original Bridgestones was a bitch but absolutely fantastic on the F1s.

I tried to get Goodyear Ultragrips for winter but was told they didn't make them to fit the G. Ended up with Bridgestones and hate them. The TCS steps in changing up to 3rd on a dry road! WTF????
