Hey Guys,

I purchased a used '04 G35 back in September '07. The front tires badly need replacing. When I started doing some research I found that the previous owner must have changed the wheel sizing. Talked to a couple guys, who gave me different suggestions, but I figured I would consult the pros first.

The fronts are Falken RT615 245/40R18
The rears are Yokohama YK520 245/45R18

These are definitely different from OEM Spec. I am relatively new at this so maybe some recommendations would be helpful.

Here's what I want in order of importance:
-An aggressive looking tire with the stock 18" rims.
-Summer performance in terms of cornering and stability is a must.
-Tire should also perform well in the rain. I have problems hydroplaning right now.

I don't particularly want to change the rears as the tread wear is still in pretty good condition but I have heard bad things about slip with the Yoko YK520 and I have noticed my slip light goes on and I get slip shifting from 1st to 2nd during aggressive driving. That being said, again I don't want to but I will consider changing the rears.

Can you guys recommend a specific tire size? And maybe some suggestions on tires themselves?

 

coupe or sedan?
