Looking for recommendations on tires for my G37, specifically in the performance all-season category and the stock rim size. I'd consider myself a spirited driver, and winter performance is lower priority due to the fact that I have another vehicle to drive.

Have gotten 33K out of Michelin Pilot AS3's and have been pretty satisfied except for tread life. Considering AS4's now.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

33K is a fair mileage - are you rotating every 5K or so? I'd say i'm a spirited driver too, sort of. I corner fast, but take my time getting to speed and don't nail the brakes.

Try making a warranty claim for mileage?

 

Yes, I'm religious about rotation. Tire shop guy acted like the mileage was within bounds, and I'm not completely surprised nor upset; sticky tires don't last long Just soliciting opinions to see if there's another better option.

 

Did you try pressing the issue. I mean they do claim it's a 45K mile tire. With regular rotations driven in adult like manner, I'd expect more. I had AS 3+ on the accord (9th gen). Tires had just under 10K when sold (someone's getting some really nice rubber ). I vaguely recall the carmax guy saying something along the lines of 7-8/32's remaining which is on par for the rated mileage.

Just had these installed today, we'll see how long they last.

 

Thanks. I think I'll pursue it.

Can't make out the tire model in the pic...

 

Looks good on the computer screen. Just after the word Michelin at 2 oclock. Pilot sport as 4. If they're as good as the ps3+'s were on the other car i'll be satisfied.

Btw, the tpms's kia uses appear to rebuildable. That is it uses a standard rubber valve stem which somehow attaches to the sensor.



IIRC the sensors used in the G were all one piece.

 

I love my A/S 4's! Keep in mind of you have a staggered setup the mileage warranty is actually 22.5k miles.

 

Nah, all square here. Could probably have gotten away with staggered but wanted to retain 4 wheel rotation. The car handled pretty good in yesterday's roadtrip in the country. Much better than with the stock re97as. Sway bars next year I think. Just a bit more body roll than I prefer.

To the OP, you running stock sway bars or something else? Eibach sways were installed shortly after purchase on my g37s to reduce body roll and get a more planted feel.

 

Everything on my car is as issued from the factory.

Thanks for the input.

Definitely going to push the dealer for an adjustment on the old ones.
