tire suggestions? Need replacements soon

I currently have Toyo Proxy tires on my 08G35X. I live in AZ and really only need summer tires, but want something that will last, be quiet and perform to a degree. I found on Discount Tire an "N" tire?? that was rated well in my size for $98 each which seems the best bet. They look aggressive like my Toyo's. The Toyo replacements are around $145 each and my concern with those is the mileage. I currently drive around 2500 monthly and need a tire that will have more durability.

I say michelin or sumitomo. I have sumitomo on my car and the rear lasted just over a year now and still plenty of tread. The front is going over 2 years now.

they have 30k mile warranty with proper rotation, it all depends on the driving style. however All Season Tires are a fraction of the price as Summer tires and will last a little bit longer because the rubber is not as soft. but man...Summer tires when the roads are super hot = super sticky tires! <3 lol

It is an X model listed above, but I forgot to give my current sizes. The rears I am running 245/45/18 and the fronts are 235/50/18 Toyo Proxies.

If you can find them in stock the Conti DSWs are the only way to roll. Great performance and long warranty. Try Discount Tire.

I have an '08 G35X and replaced the OEM Goodyear Eagle RS-A's with Michelin Primacy MXM4's from Tire Rack at 30,000 miles as tread was shot. The improvement in ride quality was and is amazing.

Just installed Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 - 245/40-19 (summer tires)- they ride great and grip like crazy! Ordered them from: www.onlinetires.com, replacing Falken FK-452's. I hope to get at least 26,000 miles on these tires (got 25,000 miles on the Falken's).

I've got them mounted on Nismo 19' rims- same size all 4 corners. For summer tires, you can't go wrong with Falken FK-452's....we'll see how these Eagle FI's hold up.
