time for tire change
as my G35 coupe is approaching her 6th year, it is time for me to buy new tires now.
as some of you have experience the same, the stock OEM potenza didnt last very long for me. I think mainly because my car is lower and i didnt do alignment every 6 months or have a camber kit install after i lower it. so i have to replace two rear tires at 8k miles, and then the front two at 15k.
my second set is Michelin pilot sport as, very good. it is quiet.
unfortunately, after 5-6k, I got a flat on the freeway and i went with a wheel and tire upgrade.
the third set is Toyo T1R, i am happy with them, but they make more noise, but handling is good. i have them for two years now, about 18k miles on all four, and it is time to replace the rear and front in a few month.
i considering the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus because the cost come down to $259 from america's tire. is there anyone here use the Nitto neo gen? please comment.

I had my car for 7 years now (130k miles)...
I went thro multiple sets of tires during those years....
you name it T1Rs, pilot sports, potenza S03s, hankook, kumho, etc...
check out hankook ventus v12 evo... I have them right now (on the rear only, have sport pilots in front) it's my 1st time using these, i like them alot.
handles well, will last for a while...
and they are around $150 each!

Don't the soft sidewalls on the Hankook's bug you? I've read various reviews stating that though they grip well, they feel really soft and squishy. I've been on Pilot Sports for a while and would be afraid to lose that great turn-in response.
yeah they are on the little soft side, but it doesnt bug me at all.
if money is not an issue, get the T1Rs again? I would have to say they were my favorite, better than pilot sports.
Im a very aggresive driver. it was very hard to find tires that last long + with good enough grip to accomodate my driving style. I just happen to find the kumho and hankook tires do their job. they last long + handles well + CHEAP!!! (i would get hankook over kumho because of a rumor that they started to make kumhos in china)
hope my replies help! gluck!
