I replaced my 03 Sedan Goodyears with the Avon M550AS. The Goodyears were quiet, nice riding tires (I'm in Atlanta, with good road surfaces) but terrible grip in wet weather. The Avons are a great value, I have 15,000 miles on them now. They have great traction, I think better wet than dry. I upsized to P235/50 17 size, does not change speedometer reading and look better I think. However, they make more noise than the Goodyears, with 15,000 they growl a bit more than I like, but that may not bother you. I'd expect about 30,000 to 35,000 miles before I need a new set. I entertained the Goodyear F1's, they have good reviews on Tire Rack. I hear the Michelins Pilot sports are great but make a lot of noise and I don't like the noise.

Thanks. I'm probably going to go for them. If for no other reason, Cooper is HQ'd in Findlay, OH-my wife grew up two towns away

Well, I got the Coopers. I also got an alignment-it turns out the front was a little out of whack.
  The tires are okay. They are quieter than the RS-A's. Turn in doesn't seem to be as sharp, but otherwise they seem to be comparable regarding handling. I've only had them since Saturday; we'll see about the wet weather handling as it's going to rain tonight. I'll be driving to OH in a couple of weeks; I'll see how they are on the road.

How to decide tires for 2004 G35 Sedan Sports Suspension by my_g35_sedan

Hello,
 
Can someone help me with how to figure out what tires can replace my current Goodyear Eagle GSD. These tires came stock when I purchased the tire and have already worn out (with only 25K miles). They are way too expensive and I can't figure out what a solid replacement would that costs less to give similiar performance and ride. Anyone have any help or ideas? Or, has anyone replaced their tires and if so, what did you buy and are you happy with them?
 
Thanks!

See the post directly above yours. The Avons are a solid choice. I have heard very good things about Cooper tires as well. Yes , I know Cooper owns Avon...

If you don't drive on the snow, Dunlop sport FM901 is the best bet for a limited budget, much better performance than the Avon or Coper.

I just bought a set of General Exclaim UHP in 245/45/18 for my car. Have 1300 miles on them and so far they are great.
I replaced a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. These were really grippy but noisy. They also didn't last long. The Generals are a "Z" rated tire and listed at a wear rating of 380. They are much quieter than the Goodyears. They seem to stick pretty well at the speeds I drive. Tire Rack has them as well. Read the reviews of those tires that interest you, decide how much to spend and then pull the trigger.

Cheap NEW tires for G35 sedan? by kittenmeow

The new set of Goodyear or Bridgestones will cost me over $600 with shipping. Does anyone know of a website or a place where I can get new tires at a discount? (Already looked at Costco and they don't carry anything other than Michelin).
Thanks for your help.

Tire pressure monitors; Can I trick the computer? by rollbar
Jan 21, 2006 (5:48 am)

After being around the block several times on a set of summer wheels and tires I finally settled on a set of Speed Stars and Kumho's (SPTs).
  
The problem now, (problems keep popping up), is the pressure monitors. I paid the big bucks and bought a set of 4 OE monitors from the dealer, ($400 no less). Now Tire Rack, who was willing to put my new pressure monitors in their wheels, says they won't fit. Something about the where the valve hole is on the Speed Star wheels. I tried to challenge them but they won't give on the installation and are sending my high priced pressure monitors back.
  
I don't relish looking at a yellow low pressure warning light all summer long. I can stick a piece of black tape over that spot on the dash but that's a tacky fix, (pun intented).
  
My question.....
  
Has anyone tried or heard of installing a pressure monitor in a small tire and keeping it inflated to a pressure that satisfies the computer? You would have to store it in the car, perhaps in the spare tire area if there's room.
  
It will depend (I think)....on whether the computer looks for a one or more "low pressure" signals or; looks for 4 proper pressure signals. Anyone know? In the first instance I think the trick might work; in the second, I don't think it will. I have not discussed this with the dealer yet but for the most part I find they don't seem to have much experience with customers that are making mods or thinking outside of the owners manual.
  
Thoughts?
  
Thanks all,
  
Roll

I am using set of winter tires without the pressure sensors for the second season, and tire pressure warning light does not come on. It appears that system is set up in such a way that in absence of the sensors the warning light is off.
