why 19 inch tires, seriously cost is outrageous
Someone please tell me my someone thought it would be a good idea to put 19 inch tires on the G37S? Have you see what 19 inch 200 TW tires actually cost?

so which 18s did you pick? I'm looking for RE71Rs (200 TW is the goal). But, am interested in pick a set that will have similar end diameters, so that effective/actual MPH will be correct with spedometer, and top end speed (in 2nd gear) will be the same. I believe the stock 19s on the G37S have 27 inch diameter.

If you were to get new 18" wheels and run those 245/45s your mph would only be off by a scant 0.13%
Might look into the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo, Tirerack has them after rebate for $567, and w/ your 19x8.5/9" stagger you can run 245/40s all around without issue.

19s look great on the G and I really don't think pricing is that outrageous.
For example, I previously had 245/45/18s and most tires ran around $150-220 a tire versus the 245/45/19s I have now that run 170-230.

Read the original post, TW 200 tires. not budget tires. TW 200 tires. These aren't tires that are supposed to 'look good'. These are tires that are suitable for competition (aka ARE GOOD).

This is approximately what I'm looking for - a set of trackday tires that fall into the 200 and below TW rating.
My wheels are 18in, but for our size (26.7 inch total overall height), there's really only a few choices depending on what width you want, in a rough set of sizes. You might have to drop down to 18s for a wider selection.
In a 265 or 275/40/r18, you have the Hankook RS3s, Nitto NT05, Federal RS-RR, and if you want to go a little crazy, the Advan AD08s and Pirelli Trofeo Rs also come in these sizes.
I'll do a little digging to find some 19s, but it's gonna be limited as you already know.

No, the thread is about the issue that 19 inch tires have a BIG cost differential over the same TW 18 inch tires. I'm quite happy some folks started to post 18inch options above. While there is a cost to purchasing 'extra wheels', One set of tire changes with 18inch and it pays for the wheels versus the additional cost of the 19inch (performance brand name tires)
