Tire Recommendations?? 245/40/19

Need new tires for the wheels, looking for something cheap since my Goodyear Eagle F1's hardly lasted long. Any advice? most likely shopping with Tirerack, great experience with them.

Thanks

What width are your rims? Are they all the same, or are they staggered.

Regardless, if you have the means, I'd highly recommend the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They are an awesome tire.

Some decent budget tires are the General G-Max AS-03, Hankook V12 Evo, Falken 425 and Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

If you want a really good set of tires, check out the Michelin Pilot Super Sports but they are pricey. I'm ordering a set as soon as funds arrive.

These are nice summer shoes, they price match too (and they're a site sponsor).

Eug96,
Check out this thread I have in the Canadian section. Goto post 12 for prices.
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...hoice-but.html

Tirerack, 1010tires and a few others could not beat Allen's prices, installed, after you account for taxes, duty, shipping, brokerage and/or your time and gas to pick them up if you decide to drive to Buffalo, NY for them.

FWIW, I picked up the V12's.

I have the exact same setup on my car. I just got 245/40/19 Sumitomo HTRZ III's on all four corners and have been pretty happy with them. By no means are they noisy, but I think a quieter tire could be purchased (although I will say that I haven't gotten the car aligned yet which may/or may not help with a bit of noise). Anyways, if you read the reviews of the Sumitomos you will find a bargain for what you're getting.....and, they're on tirerack.

narrowed it down to a few options:

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 $214.00
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 $180.00
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport $210.00
Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season $195.00

From what you guys are suggesting, It seems most drivers are happy with the V12's which is the way im leaning

I run DWS's in Winter and V12's in Summer. The V12's are a far better wet/dry grip tire, but of course, dangerous in the snow.

I'm very happy with both for their intended purpose.

based on what u want.
performance 4 season i would say conti extreme contact dws
performance summer i would say bridgestone potenza RE050
and if u just want something comfortable, quite, long lasting and some performance, i would say michelin primacy MXM4
all these tires have very good steering response and road feel,grip levels are different, but they all focused for sport driving sensation i would say.
