Sorry Dude, having a little trouble understanding:

You have a g35, with g37 wheels. You want a suggestion for new tires because your old ones have worn bad, and one was recently popped, but you have been told not to go to factory size. Also you want the vdc to go crazy?

I am going to assume you mean you mean that you want new tires for you g37 wheels and you do NOT want the vdc to go crazy. Use a tire size calculator such as this one:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Use the standard sizes of your tires speced for your g35 year and equipment (for 6MT they are 225/40/19 front and 245/40/19 rear). Compare this to whatever size you need for your g37 rims and make sure you are within 3% of the stock size (larger or smaller). I also like to be on the same side of the stock, so try not to be 2% smaller in the front but 2% larger in the rear.

For more clarity, if the g37 rims are wider than the g35 (8.5" in the front on the g37 vs 8" on the g35) with 19 inch rims, you will likely have to shrink your A/R (the middle number of the tire size) from 40 to 35 in order to get wider than stock (225 front and 245 rear)

Finally, just get hankook ventus v12 evo k110 tires that are sized correctly according to the above. They offer great grip, reasonable life, and are CHEAP!

Hope this helps.

What size are your g37 wheels? g35 19s are 19"x8" front and 19"x8.5" rear.

I really can't tell you what you SHOULD get unless you tell me what you want. Do you want to stick with stock tread thickness or do you want to go as wide as possible with the g37 wheels? This will depend on the width and radius of your wheels.

Also, do you trust me enough to give you this recommendation? Do yourself a favor and learn how to size them yourself. I'd be happy to walk you through the process, but I'm a big fan of teaching others how to fish, so I don't have to keep doling out the salmons.
