Vehicle model
Infiniti QX60
The QX60 is Infiniti's three-row family SUV, launched in 2013 under the name JX35 and then renamed QX60 for 2014 with the switch to the QX nomenclature. The brand's first three-row crossover, it targets families seeking seven seats, comfort, and refinement, competing with models such as the Audi Q7 or BMW X5. The first generation (2013-2021) shares its base with the Nissan Pathfinder, followed by a complete, more luxurious redesign. It is the brand's best-selling model and the one assembled in North America, in Smyrna, Tennessee. Tire/wheel note: the QX60 generally runs 18- to 20-inch wheels; for Quebec families, a set of winter tires, ideally on dedicated wheels, is strongly recommended given the weight and road use of this SUV.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Infiniti modernes, surtout les VUS (QX50, QX55, QX60, QX80) et les berlines sportives (Q50, anciennes G), montent généralement des jantes de grand diamètre, souvent de l'ordre de 18 à 22 pouces selon le modèle et la finition, avec des pneus à profil relativement bas. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) le plus fréquent sur la base Nissan est de type 5 trous, à vérifier précisément selon le modèle et l'année. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, il est judicieux de prévoir un second train hivernal, parfois sur des jantes de diamètre inférieur pour réduire le coût et améliorer la motricité. Confirmez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur la portière du conducteur avant d'acheter pneus ou jantes.
