Question Tires for my G37 coupe (with no snow)

I know there are thousands of post about different tire options but most deal with individuals that see snow on a regular basis. I personally live in Mississippi, we are lucky to see more than 2 inches total a year. What would be the best options for a decent quailty tire for a good value. I am a fan of the staggered tire sizes but am not sure how much is too much. I have read on several post ranging from 225/245 to 245/275. To give a little on my driving style I drive the G as a daily driver (with a lead foot) but no track time at all. Any suggestions given I will be grateful for!

the hankook v12 are very popular and are a good alternative to the stock potenzas. many tend to go with a 245 front and 275 back for wider tires = more grip (and less affect on the speedometer as opposed to other sizes). im getting these sizes in about 2 weeks.

iasked the dealer about going to the +size and he said that the larger tire on the rim would cause it to wear in the middle of the tires.anyone running these sizes having weird wear issues?

I run 245/275, haven't noticed issues yet. As far as tires, I have the Toyo Proxes PR1, I like, aggressive looking and good grip.

The 245/275 combo has worked fine on many G owners cars. Not sure I would drive a summer only tire if you have the chance to see snow. For an all season option in the larger sizes I'd look at the Conti DWS or Michelin AS+. In a summer only tire Hankook V12 has been a crowd pleaser lately as well as the Conti DW.
