Good replacement tire for the G37S stock tires???

After 21-22 months, its time for some new tires on my G37. Just curious what the more popular tire ya'll have been replacing with?

I'll be keeping the stock rims and want the stock look so just looking for some new tires. Thanks!

Toyo T1-R's and Falken 452's are popular. Not sure on the sizing for the 19's.

i have hankook v12
245 45 19 front

i went to track with this tire and it was very good.
If you go track and mountain it only last for less than 10000miles
but you can buy this tire less than $200

Thanks for the replies! I will check those out. I did some searching but most threads are tires with suspension mods.

I wasn't sure what the widest tire I could go with was for road noise/handling with stock suspension.

You guys need to seriously check out the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires!

I will tell you now after 4 months of driving on these tires they beat the stock hands down!

1) Quieter
2) Grip as good or a tad better
3) Smooth Ride over 100+
4) When I upgraded to 20s and went lower aspect ration tires... didn't feel the difference in ride comfort!
5) Tires look fantastic on rims...has a bead to protect edge and also has slight curve to tuck under wheel well.
6) Grips as good or better in rain.
7) Has a nice sing to it unlike other tires Ive heard
8) Best part you can get them shipped to you any where in US for about $780.00 bucks! <- Well for 20s, maybe cost more for those 19s!


Sorry...I need to put it all in my review this coming week or next. But man excellent tires and wear so far is pretty good considering my driving.

check out my post "Bridgestone RE760" there's some good info there especially if you're staying with OEM rims.
