Need new tires for my G37S

I am looking for new tires for my G37S
Staggered Set (As you may all know)

225 45 19 in the front
245 40 19 in the rear. Please, any suggestions would be great. I do not want to get the Bridgestones again because they are a bit too pricey. Thanks in advance.

Depends on how you drive your car.......are you looking for a high performance summer tire or a smooth riding inclimate weather tire?

I want the 4 tires to be around 1000 if that is possible. What is the best brand of tire i can get for that sort of money. And i guess i am looking for a high performance tire because i don't want the car to handle like ****. Thanks for ur help buddy. Please give me a couple suggestions.

Yokohama S Drives FTW Full set for less than $1000 and are just as good as the stockies IMO

NT 555, the Invos and Jens are a lil more pricey.

Will you ship?

To the OP, I second Gamedog's Yoko S Drive recommendation.

I'd like to know the opinion of those on here about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (all seasons). Do they ride as smooth/quiet as the stock Potenzas? I know the Michelin's are a better quality tire with a much longer tread life and better all-weather handling, but are more pricey.....thoughts?

I have the NT555's on mine. Great tires for great $$$

Yokohama S.Drives are excellent too.

Fantastic tires without a doubt. 2 times more expensive than everything else mentioned.

Aren't the s.drives $200 a piece? If you can really get the nt 555 or falken (452?) for about a bill then there's really no question in terms of value, no?

PS2's cost 160 a pop but they don't come in 245, only 255 and up.

I have and like the S drives but beware of square tire wall and issues with rubbing.
