I just purchased 4 of the 07 g35 sport rear rims. They are 18" x 8.5. Now I am stuck with the difficult task of picking out a good tire for those rims. I am coming from stock g35x 07 17". They have Good Year Eagle RS-A and are comfortable, quiet, and pretty decent in wet conditions. They aren't the greatest in performance. The sidewall is a 55 size which explains some of the comfort. With the new wheels I want an aggressive look but at the same time peform well in dry and wet conditions.

My questions are as follows:

1) What size should I be looking for?


First choice is 245/45/18 becuase thats what they come with stock. Then there is 255/45/18, 245/40/18, etc. very confused here.

2) Which tire brand and model should I choose? They have to be all-season since I will be running them year round. They also have to be able to handle some days of light snow and perform well in dry conditions.

Some that I have seen are Falken 912, Good Year Eagle f1, Michelin Pilot Sport a/s ($$$$),etc.

When you respond keep in mind that price is very important!

 

Check out the Nitto Invo. Awesome tire for the price!

 

Definitely stay with the stock tire size...
