I am in the market for some new tires for my 04 g35 coupe.It has the stock 19" gunmetal rims. I have always tried to keep my car stock or give it and improved upgrade to what ever im switching out .But when I went to the local tire shops around my area they all seem to tell me the same thing "the stock Brigestone tires are over priced for the simple fact that they are the stock tires " . So i am curious what kind of tires do you have on yours and how are they working out for you .

This is not my cars tires just wanted to post a picture of the rims v v v

 

You do realize that you've posted a picture of OEM 18s right? If your car is truly stock, and you have an 04, and your wheels are identical to the ones pictured, you should probably be looking for OEM 18 inch tires.

 

Well if the OP really meant these.


I would like to know as well, cost vs performance, ect.

 

I haven't found any cheap 19s. I think my old 1991 Inifiniti spoiled me with 15 inch rims.

 

I have my second-and last set of overpriced and loud OEM bridgestones....think im gonna try continental next....

 

Hankook Ventus tires are the best tires out there in my opinion. They are extremely affordable, they wear incredibly well, they are pretty quite and they ride very well. I don't buy anything else when given a choice.

 

I would just go to the tire and wheel forum.

In my opinion of best to best value from personal experience.

Best Michelin Pilot Sport 2

best value Hankook Ventus evo 12, Bridgestone re760

I give the edge slightly to the re760 between the evo 12 and re760.

 

Same. They came on my g35 when i bought it and plan on getting another set for 2013

 

continental extreme contact are on the car since i bought it so i cannot comment on price. they are wearing well and seem to provide good dry traction, wet traction seems weak to me. however i think they are pretty damn noisy, wont be buying them when the tires are bald.

 

I have a 2003.5 coupe with 18" wheels.

I most recently had Michelin PS2's which were fantastic. They lasted for over 22K miles & were quiet the whole time along with the great performance they are known for. To me they were perfect on the G35. This time I replaced them with the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports which are supposed to do everything better than PS2 and last longer. So far the only difference I notice is that the Super Sports seem to feel a little heavier - not rough riding - but just roll heavier somehow.

 

i have Hankook V12 and i love it. affordable and ride very well.
