Tire Options
The time has come for new tires. I have the OEM 19s on right now and want to get the same size tires to fit them that came on the car. What brands might last longer than my Bridgestone Potenzas that only lasted 16k.

I'd recommend the ECSTA SPTs http://www.kumhousa.com/tires/passen...rmance/KU31.do. I just put them on my G35 OEM 19s. I've found that they're just as good as the OEMs in the dry, but a lot better in the wet. At around 80MPH they're surprisingly quiet on the highways (at least as quiet as you can get on highways in Toronto). They're also a lot cheaper than the Bridgestones.

falkens are awesome. you remember what you paid for 'em though.
see the issue is that I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a new bimmer 335 when the 2009 models come out. so I sort of dont want to put really expensive tires on, but at the same time, it's still a G35 and I want to treat it is as such and not disrespect it with **** tires.

I put Falken TS115's on mine. Great, cheap, tire BUT they wear out too fast.
I had Goodyear Eagle RS-A's on before and if I can find them in 19's, I'm going back to them.

That being said, my first choice was the Falken 452, but they don't have a 225/40/19. I also agree that the SPTs aren't the best for flat out performance, but they're definitely a fantastic deal.
