Exclamation New tires for my baby

Hey guys, I need to change the tires on my car cuz i completely burned them to the ground this summer I still have the stock sizes 225/45/19 front and 245/40/19 back on it, Goodyear Eagle tires, but i'm considering upgrading to 245 in the front and 275 in the back and getting Toyo Proxes T1R this time ... What's your take on this?

Thanks

I bought the Michelin PSS in 275 and 245.

I DO NOT regret spending the money.

These tires are amazing!!

Thanks guys, but I don't live in the states so I can't visit those places. I happen to know a few people who can get me a good deal on the Toyo's, even with our high customs rates, I found the 275 for 280$ each and the 245 for 240$ each. The Michelin are very expensive here though, but several tires places have told me they're too soft for our roads and not completely fit for sports driving here ... I will ask about the Hankook V12s and the Michelin PSS though, and I also spoke to the Infiniti company's garage today here when I was changing my battery this morning, they gave me the number of the Yokohama official dealer/supplier in the country and told me to contact him and he'll give me a good price on their behalf ... any take on Yokohama tires? has anyone ever tried them?! thanks

Heard T1R's wear out quickly under 20k miles. Personally I went with Hankooks.

I know its slightly off topic, but what is the widest tire size you can run on the OEM G37S/IPL wheels?
