Any tire suggestions? by jbarbella

What tires do you recommend for my G35 coupe? I have 19 inch rims and currently have Potenza's. Bridgestone was the original tires when I purchased the car. Should I stay with the Potenza or is there a more cost efficient tire out there?

I just replaced my 19 inch Potenzas with Kumho Ecsta SPT's. There were much cheaper, `~900 f or a set of 4 and they are quieter then the Bridgestones.

2005 G35 tires w/sports package by inthezone2

I need advice on purchasing tires for my car. This will be my 3rd set of wheels sinc purchasing the car. The originals didn't last long. The 2nd set lasted for 2 years, but the ride was crappy. I want to get it right and pay a reasonable price. Please advise. My tire size should be 245/45R18. I'm in hotzona (Arizona) so you know we have extreme heat. I have 60k miles on my ride. Had an alignment 1 year after I purchased the 2nd set. When one of the tires blew out and AAA replaced with the douhgnut, I saw how terrible the tires wore out. The tread on the tired showed a very poor alignment. No wonder my car was shaking on the freeway. For now on, any time my wheels are balanced, I want to look at the inside of my tires to see if any wear and tear looks abnormal.
 
I went online to Costco and they had 2 choices. Any recommendations?

Yokohama s-drive, firestone firehawk, bridgestone potenza and turenza. A lot of people are getting the Falken 452's, but I don't know if they are in that size. There are a ton more. Did ou look at tirerack.com? I looked. When you put the 245/45/18 size in there are 82 tires availible. But when I put your model year in that size was not an option. The only 18inch option was the 235/45/18's.

I had the faulken's but the dealer sold me 245/40ZR18. They did last 30k. But the ride was horrible and the alignment/rotation/balance did not fix it. I did not feel like I was driving in a luxury car at all. I read a couple of reviews on the Yokohama's and I think I'm going to try them out. I had them on my Honda which I kept past 300k miles. I was very pleased with the brand. So, why not try them one more time.
 
But, am always open for suggestions.
 
Thanks

Go to tirerack.com and select tires for your car. Look at the UTOG rating for treadwear...anything over 400 is longer lasting. Performance tires are usually under 400.
 
Good luck.

2007 G35 sport Kumho by doug113x

Like many on here I have a limited choice for tire selection with the 07 G35 sedan sport package. The tire sizes are front 225/50-18 & rear 245/45-18. After looking on tirerack for available tires there are basicaly three choices. The OEM Bridgestones Ponteza. Performance was good, but I'm not to happy with the tread life. The next is the Goodyear Eagle F1 all weather, which from reading some posts, seem to be a good alternaitve to the Bridgestones. The last choice is the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum. There are some reiviews on tirerack but none on a G35. As this is an all weather grand touring tire with a rating of 600 AA A. I'm assuming that you would give up some performance for tread life. Anyone have any experience with this(Kumho) or some more feedback on the Goodyear??
Thanks in advance.

I put on the Goodyears and have about 6k miles on them. I was very unhappy with the treadwear on the Potenzas and did not want to put them on again. The ride on the Goodyears is smooth. The one noticable difference is that the tires are a bit harder than the Potenzas. Road noise is up ever so slightly and the stiffness is somewhat elevated. With that said, I am happy with the tires. Grip is fine, ride is smooth and wet tractions is solid, which is important in Florida. They are not as quiet or "cushiony" as the Potenzas, but the sacrifice in those areas is relatively small and, in my mind, outweighed by the treadlife (should it live up to its promise). I'm only 6,000 miles in, so things can change, but I do not regret the change to the F1's at this juncture.

Thanks for your input. It's good to know that the F1's are a good tire. The F1 is probably the way I'll end up going unless I get some feedback on the Kumhos.

I also have an 07 G35 with 18" wheels. I will be putting on a set of Kumho LX today and will report back how they do.
