I'm deciding on tires for my '09 g37s convertible- I want all season tires with good wet handling and high tread rating (500+)

I'm lookin gat the Nitto Motivo's and the Yokohomo YK580's, but I'm wondering if there are any others I should look at also, and if anyone has had either of these and can let me know how they ride??

Thanks!

 

I've got the Motivo's on my G Sedan and I'm very happy with them. Quiet but excellent handling in all situations. I haven't had them in snow though.

 

After much searching I found a great solution; albeit not cheap. Cost me about $1100 for four new tires.

It turns out that Michelin makes their Pilot Sport A/S 3 in the correct 19in OEM size for both the front and back wheels. All the online systems don't recognize this tire option because the 225/45/19s are W speed rated while the 245/40/19s are Y speed rated. Normally you'd like to avoid mixing speed ratings, but Michelin says on their web site it should not be an issue if the higher speed rating is on the back. And both sizes are higher speed/load rating vs. the OEM Bridgestones. I spoke to my mechanic and he was absolutely sure it would be fine.

So far after just a couple days I am super satisfied with both the performance/handling and the ride. I can't say for sure, but I think these smooth out some of the harshness without compromising any of the performance I've been used to.

That's my two cents.
