If the X ever sees snow, I will install the 18s with B'stone all-season tires.

Always good to have 2 sets!
I run Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the G35 during the summer, but switch over to a dedicated winter tire in the winter. Even living in Chi-Raq, where the snow is plowed immediately or you don't get re-elected to another term as mayor, you still need winter tires on a RWD vehicle.
