I've also liked Continental DW.

May have had great luck with BFG's GForce Sport Comp-2 as an every day sport tire. I'd also look to Conti's DW and Bridgestone RE760.

Hankook V12 EVO's have always been good to me. On my 2nd set and I couldn't be happier.

I used to run Michelin Pilot Sports... They are nice, but they wore out on me way too fast and they're expensive.

My friend runs Bridgestone Potenza S-04's and he's pretty happy with them as well.

Was actually looking at the BFG's heard good things... was also looking at the Hankooks which I've also heard great things. My buddies run them an haven't had anything bad to say about them

Hankook Ventus V12 Evos are the ones I'm leaning towards now

Also checked out Yokohama Avid Evigors I was also looking at I don't know if anyone has any experience with them.

Neal what's wrong with Michelin Pilot Super Sports?

The Tire Rack gives the Michelin Pilot Super Sports a 100% rating as reported by their customers, how can you do better than that? They have a UTQG (wear rating) of 300 which should get you close to if not over 30K miles of wear under normal driving. These aren't for the fool doing burn outs in the parking lot every time he finds a wet spot! I've run close to every tire made on my cars, Michelin is the only tire I'll install on SLICK!

Those are the tires I have on my 2012 G37S. I replaced the OEM Bridgestone at 32k miles.
I'm at 65k miles now and still have plenty of tread depth left. Too cold out to measure it today

They got me home safely in a raging NJ snow storm but not up the incline of my driveway with over 8" of un-plowed snow.

I highly recommend them. Purchased at the Infiniti dealer for $1119.00 that included balancing and alignment. Everything worked and they washed and vacuumed my vehicle.
