Hey yall,
I was wondering if anyone has found suitable 19" all season tires for the coupe oem 19" wheels. Matching as well is required?

225/40/19 and 245/40/19

I understand that there are tire shops that let you shop online but I have trouble finding matching sets. One brand will have one size but no the other. This doesnt bother me that much but my OEM 19s are just sitting in the garage ever since I got my new sterns st1s.

Thanks for any input given.

anyone?

Have you tried tirerack.com? Just put in 2005 G35 Coupe 6mt for the search options. That'll give you the matching sets for those 19" wheels. Last I checked when I was shopping for tires, it brought up the original Potenzas, the Pilot Sport 2s, and some Yokohamas. Not totally sure about all-season tires though. I think its more common for softer summer tires to be on these rims.

 

Yes I have, I find that they only offer high preformance tires in oem size.

 

they only have them in the rear oem size

 

since I have limited responses, I'll take answers related to alternate sizes that fit the OEM 19's but close to factory. And as before I am looking for setups that maybe out there already, not some BS answer like "Try tirerack" or brand name drops. I have looked for specific sizes in the major tire websites but always come up empty handed.
NOTE - I am looking for all season preformance tires for the oem 19's

 

Just my opinion here. If snow or all seasons are truely the purpose, finding 19" versions seems like an expensive way to go. I'd just sell your 19s, find some 18s and put all seasons on those. Cheaper wheels and cheaper to find tires.

 

If you bump up the front to 245/35-19, you can get Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. It even has a 40k mile warranty. That's probably what I'll be getting for my G, since my Pilot Sport All/Season are wearing out.

 

If you look on tire rack they give you alternate sizes for the Michelin pilot A/S.

This is the current setup I have on my car and it works great. Not cheap but a great tire. upto 6 inches of snow and no problems last year.

Good luck

 

You have these on OEM 19s? they were my second choice for my aftermarket 19s 8.5"F and 9.5"R. To my understanding that putting 275s on the rears was undesirable and possibly unsafe. Do you have pics? I would really like to see what they look like on the rim, both front and side views. Thanks for the reply.

 

My car came with the OEM 19s and I bought OEM 17s for the winter. I have since bought Sterns ST1 19 in a wider set up both front and rear (because it was a better choice than replacing the OEM set and have those wear out in another 10K miles) with KDW ver 2 245 front and 275 rear.

I loved the oem rims and would love to drive them in the winter months but i dont want to buy snow or ice tires cause it doesnt get that bad here. that is the reason for looking for OEM size all seasons tires.

BTW - I have a silverado that I also drive in the winter on the harsh days. I am just looking to have some good looks in the winter around here without trashing my nice new rims.

Thanks for the input!

 

here is a pic of my car with the sterns st1

 

i dont have any pictures. But they are very similiar to stock. They are maybe 1/8 to 1/4 of inch wider. Gives them a nice aggressive stance and they have a tough looking tread. I drive in NYC everyday and beet the hell out of them and no problems. They are perfectly capable for any type of street driving. I not so sure about the track though. I had them on my 04 G35 and now my 06 G35 and love them.

I got them because I wanted to use them all year but they were very pricey. I think if I was only going to use them in the winter I might just go the winter tire route it will probably be cheaper. You can get winter tires and rims for less than this setup.

Also you might want to try and trade you wheels for stock 17 or 18 and some cash. Michelin pilot A/S in those sizes are much cheaper and if you use the extra cash from the wheels you might save yourself several hundred dollars.

Good luck

 

anyone else have any ideas, maybe other sizes that are close to oem? maybe a setup you found and applied? thanks for all the responses so far...
