Lol to some of these responses. I have a g37s sedan. Period. Not xs. I bought it used. The douchey dealer put the rear tires on before I purchased the car. I know they are supposed to be wider with a lower profile tire. That is my point of the original post. Is it just the crap super sidewall tire I feel, or is it something else?

To the person talking about performance of the g vs the talon: What in the world makes you think I still have the tiny little t-25 on my car? LOL, i blew that that up in 10k miles running 24psi all day on pump. The car is HEAVILY modded. I drove it 200k in the past 10 years. I threw out a list of I dunno, 5k in suspension mods, of course there are corresponding engine mods. At 3200 lbs wet, with me in it, and 300hp to the tire (at only 17psi at 100 ambient degrees) the talon EASILY runs away from the g. BUT, it certainly doesn't have 4 seats, ice cold AC, and frankly its a pain in the butt to get in and out of because its hammered.

Bottom line, time to find new tires!

bottom line, you need to go back to the dealer and get the correct rear wheels/tires.

I assure you Volvo is not going to buy me new tires. Thus, I'll just buy some from the classifieds.

The person talking about your Talons' performance had no clue what you did to your car. Those that said you may have had an X, that's what made sense if you had 225s all around as that's the only OEM setup and still with the S badge.
We get it, your Talon was off-the-hook, coming across as condescending when you weren't giving any details about your previous car isn't the greatest way to get help around here, but to each his own.
But I do urge you to dump those rag RS-As. Oh, and welcome to the site
Cheers!
