I need tires for my 2013 G37 and would like some suggestions.

IMPORTANT
Quiet ride, low road noise
Reasonable all weather performance (my G37 is unlikely to see much snow/ice)

NOT IMPORTANT
High mileage
Low price
High speed cornering on dry pavement

Thanks,

Kurt

 

 

The Michelin Defender or Continental PureContact would be a good fit based on your criteria. If noise is a concern, you want to avoid most of the Ultra High Performance All Seasons, they are louder and stiffer then a normal touring or grand touring A/S models. If you change your mind and want to trade a little road noise for better acceleration, road feel, grip and braking the X sedan responds very well to the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 A/S, the BF Goodrich Comp2 A/S's and the Continental DWS.

 

Continental DWS06

 

That's what I'm running on my Lancer and I am very pleased with them.

 

Nice, we have them on my wife's Saabaru 9-2x and like them also. A great A/S tire that can even do snow, great for AWD cars.

 

Come winter I have Blizzaks I can run, but if we can an early snow for some reason I know they will handle it.

 

my 0.02 cents on the DWS06, i know a few ppl above mentioned liking them but I had them on my X with the stock rims and really hated them, they were always noisy and never had any grip even in commuter traffic....I hated them so much I sold them after about one season, my old worn out Yokohama Avid tires and even my winter tires were better than those on my X...

That being said on my wifes little Honda I really love them and still have a set on there...I don't know if it was the combo of the stock tire sizes and the much higher weight of the G but I feel like they aren't a good match for the G.

I would have suggested the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 A/S as I have never found them to be very loud, but as another poster mentioned they may be so YMMV...the best touring tire that I have had (super quiet and great gas mileage) is the Michelin Primacy MX4V so that would be my recommendation...this is still the tire I get for my moms car as those are the things she values

 

DWS06 have slightly narrow tread width per section ratio. To get DWS06 that have same contact patch as OEM tires (awd coupe) I have to get 245/45 R18. IMO the stock 225/50 tires are undersized for a car pushing 3900 pounds.

 

Thanks to all for the helpful responses, leaning towards the Michelin Pilots as a good trade off.
