My service writer at infiniti recommended these tires for my 2012 g37, because I was complaining about sliding when it rains here in vegas. I'm still window shopping for bettter price.

Any thoughts on what size would fit a 2009 G37S Coupe with Stock rims?

The 225s did not fit the front rims, they were too narrow...

I'm confused. You just listed 225 tire size above, but in an earlier post stated that 225 does not fit the stock rims. What exactly are you saying?

I am currently running the Michelin A/S3 on these wheels. Sizes are Front 245/40-19 and Rear 275/35/19. They fit perfectly with just a little bit of a "lip" to protect from curb rash. No rubbing of any kind, and I'm dropped pretty low on KW coilovers

The Michelin A/S 3s were great except in the snow. The A/S 3+ now have the snow grip. The reviews on the Pirelli PZero A/s are very good, quite empressed. I had the A/S 3 for a while, great grip. The A/S 3+ has reviews equal or higher to the PSS. I think part of how the can be so close to the PSS is that it has a harder sidewall.

When the PSS came out, I was surprised that a tire that didn't seem to have many channels to evacuate water, would have such great wet traction. The A/S 3+ doesn't really look like most A/S tires or like they would be as good as the DWS in the snow, but I guess it is.

Don't be confused, the A/S 3+ 225 tires are literally to small for the front rims.

Seriously, why too small? Same width size as stock so shouldn't it fit the stock wheel correctly?
