Tire Recomemdations

what tires do you guys recommend on a 12 g37 with stock staggered limited edition wheels with a 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 I want the widest option tires and thick sidewall tire that could fit well on these stocks?

225/50 up front, 245/45 in the back. I don't think the OEM 18" wheels are wide enough to allow much flexibility in tire width while still maintaining the correct front/rear height.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports and Bridgestone Potenza S04s would be my tire recommendations.

That's about it^^^^, pretty locked-in w/ those sizes, you could run a 235/50 255/45 if you really want a bit more width and slightly taller sidewall, but anything more wouldn't be a recommended mount on those wheel widths, and rolling diameters.

Pilot Sport 4s, not the supersports. They 4s replaced the supersports and are literally better in every single way, especially wet grip. I just ordered some myself

Have you experienced them back-to-back?

I’m not convinced the added cost of the 4s is worth it

Ive driven my friends coupe on supersports about a year ago, and 4s about a month ago on another guys car. Cant really tell the difference that far apart. But the SuperSports have been discontinued, and the 4s became the replacement. Just the fact that you get 10% more treadwear is worth the few extra bucks.

Actually, I believe Michelin has reversed that decision and PSS is still being offered. Last year I was told the same thing, and Discount Tire cancelled my order because the rears were out of stock.

The Sport 4 S has the same 30,000 square, 15,000 staggered warranty as the PSS.

I’m sure you’ll love the Sport 4s, but I disagree that the incremental improvement is necessarily worth the price. I’ll be ordering my 4th set of PSS in a couple weeks.
