Am in need of tires for my g37x, any recommendations for tires low-mid price range? Driving is typical commute, city/highway driving.

 

What's your budget

 

Also what type, summer or all seasons?
Hopefully you can have a set of winter tires if you need them and use summer tires the rest of the year, a much better way to get the most out of your G.

 

I have been looking at replacement tires as well. I went to Tire Rack. They have good tires for all budgets. Frankly, the recommended to me a tire made by General (all season). They are $160 each plus shipping. Call these guys, they are very helpful.

I did not want to spend $240 per tire for the Michelin's.

 

I have General G Max AS03 on my sport coupe which came with the car when I bought him.
In my opinion they are not that good. Grip is mediocre at best. On a straight road they're ok, but on curves or some spirited driving and they get wonky at best. Heavy throttle, even with the VDC system active, and the rears will break loose too easily.
Road noise and feel is HORRIBLE!!!! Constant droning/buzzing/rumbling-type vibration- at all speeds. For a while I thought I had a wheel bearing going out!

I'm due for a new set of tires soon and will look at options then. Michelin might not be in everybody's budget, but anything has to be better than the General's I have now.

Just my thoughts. Good luck!

 

I have the same opinion of my General tires. I wouldnt buy them again. My sizes are

Yokohama Advan Sport A/S have worked well for me and a good price too.... tirerack

 

I really liked my Bridgestone Potenza S04s. Can't tell a difference compared to my current Pilot Super Sports.

 

These seem to have very good reviews online. I'm looking into these now.

 

I was happy with the Hankook Ventus V12s I just replaced.
I've had Bridgestone RE760Sports on for two weeks and have no complaints so far.

Both are around $200's per tire.

 

I have Contnental DWS All Seasons and I love them. I read that they're the best performing all seasons you can buy and that's not a lie. I've used them in heavy snow and they work unbeliavably. They're great for spirited driving too which was my main concern. They came to about $200 per tire after a rebate.

 

Across two resources - Consumer Reports and Tire Rack - taking the score for both and using that as a total score, the Goodyear F1 Assemetrical A/S came out as one of the top three and had the best deal at the time (august 2014).

I think you'll find after researching that the Conti's will ride the best and offer good stopping ability. As a result, they give up a good deal in dry pavement performance.
The Goodyears offer IMO the best balance between, all around perfromance, style and price. After having them on for about 8500 miles, i am very happy with my purchase.

If you could go a little higher (myself included) the Pirelli P Zero Nero's are hard to beat.
Any tire that is a stock OEM tire for SOO many luxury and performance cars right out of the factory, works for me.

Cooper makes a good tire in this category but unfortunately they have the ugliest profile of all the tires in that category. Plain, and the Coopers always seem like they need air.

Spend a few hours going through the ratings and particulary the video reviews on Tire Rack. Look for the UHP All Season category. You can see the tests conducted and see how they perform, or don't, for yourself.

 

DWS by a lot. I just drove to work today on the highway in the rain and the car felt extremely stable, which I cannot say with the OEM Dunlop tires. The car feels great in every condition: dry, wet, and snow. Did I mention snow? You will thank me when you drive with these tires in the snow, they really are that good. Aside from the astonishing snow performance from an A/S tire, the ride comfort is what puts this tire on a different planet. I currently have 20" wheels and the ride comfort is hardly discernible from my 18" factory wheels/tires. If I had to favor a set, I might actually say the 20" setup rides better.

You really have to gauge what you will use these tires for. A lot of people on this forum complain that the DWS isn't the stiffest tire on the market and that's hard to argue considering it isn't trying to be. On/off ramps account for about 15 seconds of my hour daily commute though, so I much prefer a tire that rides well. On the weekends when I want to drive more spiritedly, the DWS allow me plenty of performance for driving that's appropriate for public streets.

 

love my S04's too but I feel like they are a little on the high side
I heard good things about the toyo proxies and some of the falken tires if youre looking at summers

 

I have Bridgestone Potenza's (not sure if they are S04, will check the next time I go on break) on my 37s that came with it off the used lot. I like them, not too much road noise and a good feel through corners with little to no slipping.
