Have read on Tirerack, and talked with people at a couple of other tire shops, the new Kumhos are pretty good, and around $100 each.
 
SPT - summer tires
ASX - All season

G35 sedan replacement tires by texag64

Thanks to all responding to my questions regarding tires for my G-sedan. Since Wai & Joe are way over in the northeast climes and thankfully I never encounter the white stuff I'll continue to look for the "perfect" summer shoe for my GiGi. Macman, would like Michelins but without a coupon they could be a little pricey for me. I'm still considering the Avons -- just like to deal with the local yokels.
 
Joe, thanks for including the comment from TireRack about staying with OEM sizes. The local TireMax store is trying to sell me Hancook Ventus HRII H405 225/50R17. I hear they are made by Japenese Coopers which is probably fine. Just a wee bit weary of changing to 225/50 from 215/55. The price of $88.20 is nice but not if it messes with GiGI's VDC. Since I'm stuck at home recuping from a mild ticker attk I've got plenty of time to continue my research. Would appreciate additional comments/recommendations. Thanks again.

I'm running SPT's on my summer wheels and have no complaints. Only have 5500 miles on them so can't comment on wear, although there is no real wear showing yet.
 
I run 8.5s up front and 10's in the back so my sizes are a bit off the stock sizes.

Yokohama AS430 by texag64

I'm still shopping for replacements for the 215/55R17 OEM Goodyear RS-A on my G35 auto sedan. I was about to go with Goodyear Reponse Edge ($160) when I ran across the Yoko AS430 ($121) TireRack didn't have any survey results on either. Has anyone out there got an experience with either or suggestions? Thanks.

If all season is not required, check out the General Exclaim UHP tire. Excellent handling and excellent tread life. Tire Rack has them.

I have a question.. should you ONLY be replacing the rear tires?
I've heard it's not desirable to even have different tread patterns, front to rear.
I am about to face the same thing on my coupe in the near future, and considering the Avons.
But my stock rears will be worn out a few thousand before the front, I'm sure.

Goodyear Triple Treads by boomzer

I'm getting some conflicting information and was wondering if anybody knows the answer. After doing some research decided to replace my original Bridgestone Turonza's (probably mispelled) with the Goodyear Assurance TripleTreads for the size 215/55/17. Goodyear's website and Tirerack indicate these tires are made in this size, but I've had two Goodyear dealers and Sears tell me they don't. Anyone know who doesn't know what they are talking about?

I just purchased a 2004 G35x with a new set of Yoko Avid V4S rubber. Consumer Reports recently rated them highly and I can say that in the few hundred miles of dry to wet to a little snow mixed pavement conditions I have experienced they have performed well. I'm still getting used to the car & AWD characterisitics, so I can't comment much more. I came from a 1999 C230 Kompressor sedan with either Michelin MXV4+ for winter or Dunlop Sport SP5000s during summer. My other vehicle is a 1999 Suburban riding on Michelin LTX M/S all seasons.

Avons on my car now... by dboe

I just put on Avon High Performance AllSeason. Very nice tire.
I have the 18" wheel pkg, and I can't see any great difference in overall performance. They don't have the crispness of the stock Pilots but they are grippy none the less.
TireRack is the major distributor. They have excellent reviews from owners and a good road test against some heavy competition.
A treadwear rating of 360 (over the 180 Pilots) a softer and quieter ride. Probably meet a good 99% of my objectives for an all season tire.
Unless you need ultimate summer tires, I can highly recommened these.
