Layman seeking advice

Hello,

I own a 2011 G37Xs Sedan. The car is entirely stock and I have no intention of changing that.

I need to replace my tires and I am trying to find some great All Season, quiet and spirited tires for this great car.

I am not well versed in all of this. From what I can gather, can I get 4 of the same tire/size or do I need to get two different sizes for the front and back?

Tire Rack seems to say I should be going for a 225/50-18. Does this seem correct?

Lastly, I have tried to follow and read other threads on this board but quite frankly, I do not see a lot about a 2011 G37XS sedan and don't want to screw up my purchase.

Thank you in advance!

Since you have AWD and the same 18x7.5" wheels all around you are pretty much locked in on those 225/50 tire sizes. Tirerack.com is a great source for researching & purchasing tires, I get all my tires from them for many years now, they are the best!
Here's a list of Ultra High Performance All seasons in that size~

I'd look at the Hankook Ventus Noble & the BFG Sport Comp2 tires, both should perform well year round in most conditions.
