Narrowed it down to the Yokohama YK580 and the General G-MAX AS-03. Size is 225/45/19 on the G37 sport 19s. These would be my YEAR ROUND wheel/tire set up. Any input/experience or votes helps me. im planning on making a purchase very soon.

 

yokohama only because i dont know the other brand to well

 

have you seen this?

based on that link alone the General Gmax seems to be where its at.

 

yokohoma is japenese and your car is japenese

 

Lol.



8char.

 

Yeah . . . Better import some compressed Japanese air to fill those tire too, eh?

 

haha, too funny

i still cant decide. The Yoko is too new that there arent reviews. General I know is Continental, but the brand still concerns me.

more USEFUL posts please!

 

Lol this guy really needs help and we're messing around . Compressed air lol

 

No but really yokohoma has some of the best ratings on tire rack.com any tireshop would recommend yokohama

 

Your choices are fairly limited for an economical tire on those 19" rims. Have you considered possibly trying a 235/45-19 or a 235/40-19 ? They are about 1.3% taller and 2.1% shorter in diameter (respectively) than the 225/45's you're looking for, so not really a big deal. Maybe you'll come up with some other options that way.

 

IMO pirellis yokohama michellin and kumho are the brands I trust

 

yes, i am sold on the 225/45 size. right now, im leaning towards the Yoko YK580s

 

Sunny's ftw! Korean tires ftmfw!


Nah but yokos are good tires

 

Yokohamas are good tires, but also look at the Kuhmos. I picked up the Ecsta LX Platinums and the tires are excellent. Good handling, quiet ride, definitely worth considering. My ¢.02
