NOOB: New Tires Needed
 

Hi. I've been around the forums here for quite a while. Like to stay up on whats happening with the G. I have an 08 G37S coupe with about 26k miles on it and my tires are about to go. Am in the market for some new ones and want to stay clear of the OEM tires. I've searched the forums quite a bit on this topic but am still having trouble coming to a decision. The tires i'm considering are listed below:

Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

Yokohama S.drive

Nitto Invo

Was just looking to get some opinions on these sets. I live in NC so snow really isnt a problem and I drive aggressively only sometimes. I'm really looking for a tire that gives pretty good performance and that will last longer than the OEM tire while being competitively priced. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated and again i'm sorry as i'm sure this topic has been covered countless times.

They are all good tires. I know a lot of people here use the Hankook because they are good and cheap. I currently have the Yoko S. Drive and they are great. Handling is comparable to stock Bridgestones, but way more comfortable and quiet. I can't comment on how long they last because I've only had them for a couple thousand miles, but they are supposed to last longer than OEM.

If I were you, I would look between the Hankooks and some Vredesteins

My co-worker has a G37S coupe with the Nittos on it and he says they ride comfortable, aren't too loud, and good performance, but the treadlife is pretty short on them. The Hankooks look like a great buy and I've heard good things about them. I just ordered some Continental Extreme Contact DWs to replace my rear tires and I kinda wish I had looked up those Hankooks, I probably would have chosen those instead.

BTW, I meant the DW tires, NOT the DWS tires. I live in SD and don't need all seasons lol.

Agreed, all good tires. The Hankook will be best dry grip and response but wear quicker and ride a bit stiffer. B-Stone and the Yoko always butt heads, but the 760 has been a tad more popular and overall a slightly better performer.

I'm running the hankook's and so far really like them. So much quieter and smoother than the factory tires. 245 front and 275 rear. I'm very happy with them so far.

how are you liking the Conti DW's? I've heard good things about the hankooks but I have also heard good things about the DW

I bought EVO's and could not be happier - compared to the stock Bridgestones they are quieter, grippier (is that a word?) and just all around a better ride...for a boatload less $.

Not sure about tread life (don't ask how I squeezed 40K out of my OEM's) but at this price - less than $700 for a full set - who cares?

Can you tell me where you get them under 700$? and how many inches?

I'm considering the same setup - can you post a few pics? I want to see how them look :D

Also, with the wider tires were you able to align the car no problem?
