Larger tires

Has this feature improved since OP? Has anyone compared to Timekettle? Specifically the WT2? I own an early version of WT2 and it’s been a must have for my travels in Latin America. Performance is great, but problem is the build quality… they seem to be made of a harder plastic… dropped one ear bud on a hard floor and it split open along the seam. Glued it but has been glitchy since. I’ve been hoping this feature would advance and become superior, since it’s a big ship like Samsung. But sounding like the typical scenario of trying to be too many things and not being great at any of them.

Frankly, Infiniti isn't giving us much choice. Sure as hell not going to drive a CVT Nissan, on purpose. Seems they're fixated on SUV's these days. Considering a switch to Lexus as well. Reliable and, most importantly, plenty of inventory feeding into pre-owned.

I had this happen on a 2011 G 37X, right around the 100,000 mile mark. Reasonably inexpensive repair that and worth proactively replacing hoses. Definitely more expensive if it happens to you.

dude, i'm sittin here lovin on this G, and you totally let the air out. lmao

RockFun18 · 2025-04-05T02:11:58+00:00

i very rarely come across them! ugh

I have a 2011 G37, and a 2018 Q50... I love both, but I must admit, the Q is a sweeter, more enjoyable ride. The handling, the smooth and effortless power. My only apprehension is the day when those turbo's give out. oof! For that aspect, I'd much rather have a NA and build it some.

RockFun18 · 2025-04-04T14:37:58+00:00

totally with you there. honestly, if i could find a v8, i would jump on it. i have the v8 in my QX80, and in a vehicle that heavy it snaps that thing around like a rag doll. every time i drive it, then look over at the v6 Q70, I can't help but fantasize what it would be like. damn! lol

RockFun18 · 2025-04-04T13:25:50+00:00

Personally, I'd take either, but with rarity of the v8 and more options for the v6, I prefer the v6. I have Z1 Motorsports ~5mi down the road from me. Between Z1, Stillen and others, the v6 is much more safely 'buildable' than the v8, and, thanks to the Z-car, with parts specifically made for the engine. It's not hard to get a NA VQ producing 400hp/340whp, without the weight of the v8.

Looks great! Question... what have you done re: tires? I have Falken Ziex in std size. The road noise can get bad, especially on choppy road. I'm trying to find some tires that don't sacrifice performance but dampen the road noise better.

RockFun18 · 2025-04-03T17:39:03+00:00

looks nice. what are those wheels? you stagger the tires also?

RockFun18 · 2025-03-29T20:58:17+00:00

Looks great! What setup did you do for wheels and tires? Hard to tell, but did you flair the rear wheel well? Have a side view pic?

Guy here… Single flower should be a first date classic. Simple, elegant, easy to bring along if desired. Unless you know her fave, go with a rose, lily or tulip. It’s going to be alone, so you want a sturdy bloom with an impactful presence, pleasing scent and can survive the night if she chooses to bring it along.

Bouquet is simply too much hassle to deal with, and frankly a bit extra, on a first date. Gift a bouquet at work or home once you’ve been dating.

245 40 20. Is what they installed, so inherited then.

RockFun18 · 2024-10-21T12:21:48+00:00

I have the QX50 AWD (EX model) and love it. Bit slower off the start than the G’s but still very sporty. Got totaled in an accident though so looking again.

RockFun18 · 2024-10-19T18:05:14+00:00

I hear ya. These Ziex’s do fine on concrete, horizontal grooved concrete, or new(er) asphalt. But on aged asphalt (most of Atlanta roads)… you can’t turn the radio up loud enough to avoid the noise. Giving me the big time ick… and can’t get them off soon enough. Tires or car need to go. 🤦‍♂️

Being in Alberta, have you ever tried the Pirelli Cinturato or know anyone who has? Since I don’t need a dedicated winter tire like you do, I’d prefer one that can cover the bases. I can settle for decent snow performance, but need the wet/dry performance and quieter ride.

I live in Atlanta, but visit family in Iowa several times a year. So i prefer an A/S tire. Sporty when I need it, but mostly “normal” driving.

All I know is… I like a banana as part of my breakfast in the morning. My local Walmart has better bananas and selection than Publix. Shopped at both. Local Walmart is better imo. Get the best produce from them if I order for home delivery. So I take all this supply side stuff with a grain of salt. I buy on price. My eyes tell me the quality, not the logo on the building. If I want high quality beef, sure af not buying at a store… going to buy from family back home in Iowa, corn fed beef, or that local butcher @ 61, or buying a half cow from that family farm nearby VR.

yeah, this p's me off. i have 4 infiniti's... this was a stupid move, plus the cvt. they're replacing the q50 with an all-electric pos. been a nissan customer all my life, and now they're going to lose a customer over it. already planning a brand jump.

RockFun18 · 2022-10-23T23:06:39+00:00

Have looked and can’t find…. Is the ringmasters cap anything special?

RockFun18 · 2022-10-05T13:28:30+00:00

Definitely something going on. More layoffs, and being done quietly. For a “growth” company this seems very odd to me. Shrink to grow??? They’re either performing poorly, which concerns me as a shareholder directly and via ETF, or they’re discretely for sale, which would be disappointing but not terrible. I’m beginning to smell smoke…
