New tire time

Have a 2010 G37S sedan. Need new tires.

Suggestions? Willing to upgrade to 19" rims to increase tire selection, but don't want to spend a $bajillion.

In stock sizes was looking at the BS RE760's.

Current tires are the OEM RE050's, only lasted about 9k miles. Can't remember the exact mileage, as I didn't write it down when I threw the snows on, but when I put them on last week, noticed the rears were finished.

super sports 18" = $886 total

Continental DWS 19" = over $900, plus 19" rims, so well over $2k.

PSS seem to be a higher performing tire compared to the RE050A. Better dry and wet traction, should last longer, are lighter, and cheaper. What more can you ask for? Just google reviews of the PSS or check other forums for reviews. All are pretty positive.

The 760 would be a great daily driver sport tire. Good ride, decent life, not too expensive. May also want to look at the Yoko S-Drive which is similar.
