What the H*ll tire OUCH

Finding this answer has been really painful

I've seen recommendations of 275/35/19 for back tires on the G35 coupe.

I need a complete set of tires, I want them to look good with the stock 19's but I don't need super traction of a 275 etc... just want a quiet economical tire that will last as long as possible...

In light of that...


WHAT THE H&LL SIZE DO I ORDER for front and back to get the best quiet ride safely ? I don't need the ridiculous grip??!!!!! Too many varying opinions that after an hour of reading on here I can't figure out the answer.

thinking about Toyo T1-R.

Size thoughts??

275 width would be over kill on the stock 19s... not positive what the stock widths are but id say you're looking for something like 245 rear and 235 front then whichever sidewall height you want, low pro tires dont last aslong and can be easily flattened by pot holes and other road hazards so, id go with a 40, 45 if you dont mind some rubber. Dunlop Direzzas were great when i was runnin my stocks.

I think 235/40 Front and 255/40 Rear is a very good fit on stock 19's. Anything over 265 for the rears and youre looking at possible safety issues with too much tire and unnecessary added weight.

+1, though I would go 245/35/19 front, 255/40/19 rear

the 275/30 are for aftermarket wheels 10" or 10.5" in the rear.
