NEW 2004 INFINITY G35 COUPE PURCHASED 12/11/03 SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL 12/14/03 ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN LIGHT SNOW WAS FALLING AND STICKING TO ROAD SURFACE. THE TIRES SOLD WITH THE CAR WERE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES WITH AN N/A TRACTION RATING ON THE SIDEWALL. THIS FACT WAS NOT MENTIONED BY THE DEALERSHIP NOR ON THE CAR WINDOW STICKER NOR IN THE BROCHURE THAT GIVES THE DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR. WHEN I MADE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE INDIFFERENT. I HAVE JUST SPENT $1400 TO PURCHASE 4 WINTER PERFORMANCE TIRES FOR THIS CAR.
