I'm currently on the OEM Bridgestone RE050 and wanted to see what everyone else is replacing their OEM tires with on the Sport. Right now, the only other option I'm seeing is the Bridgestone RE760.

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2008 g37s coupe, not sedan, but i just replaced my oem RE050 tires with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110, 225/45/19 on the front and 245/40/19 on the back.

Only put on about 500 miles on them, but so far the grip is great, and the ride feels similar to the RE050's, maybe a bit rougher...but for the price, @$175 each tire, i have no complaints.

I strongly recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport; I just installed them on my car, and they're a big improvement over the RE050 in terms of ride and noise at the expense of a softer sidewall.

i was going to get the RE760 when my RE050s wear out. but if you look at Tirerack, there are plenty of other options.

this is time when you get wheels.

^ what he said... pick up some nice aftermarket or if you dont want to spend alot upgrade to some 19" g37s coupe rims.

when i had my 18s i ran 235/50/18 up front. could barley even tell and there are so many more choices out there. Hankooks are good in the stock size though.

I like the Potenza RE760 Sport but apparently no tire shop/wholesaler in my area even shows it as available for our cars. I could buy online but if I get a puncture in one tire down the road, I worry that I won't be able to buy a replacement locally quickly. If I buy the RE760 online, it will be around $820 with shipping and install. I can get the OEM Potenza RE050A locally for $950 OTD or the Toyo Proxes 4 for $850 OTD.

Do you have a Discount Tire in your area? They carry the Potenza RE760 in the OEM size for the G37.

plus most tire places can order whatever tires you want if they don't have them in stock.

You can get slightly wider tires and you'll get a lot more choices.

like 235-50-18 front and 255-45-18 back.

that will throw off your speedo calibration.

Yes, but very little, less than 1 mph.

This is exactly what I did and went with Mich Pilot Sport A/S+. Had them for ~12k miles and really like the ride and feel.

I have the 760s and love them. They have excellent grip in dry. I haven't pushed them in the rain so I can't comment much in that aspect. I think they are better than the RE050s. I wanted the michelin pilot sport a/s but didn't want to upsize.

Stay away from the RE960s. Soft sidewall and mushy sidewall but that thing sticks.
