WAY OFF TOPIC but...

you guys have never failed me when i have a question and know you guys have all round car expertise

Well mothers car is in need of some new tires
she drives a 2008 g37s coupe with the 19's from infiniti but I can only find 2 brands of tires on tire rack and dont know where else to look due to the fact that the stock bridgestones went pretty quick. I have been looking at the hankook ventus v12's but tire rack does not have the front tires only the rears Now if there is another place or brand to look at for any of you past g37s owners i would greatly appreciate it

tire measurements

Original Equipment Front Size 1: 225/45-19

Original Equipment Rear Size 1: 245/40-19

The backs are easy - Many Michelins etc. That front size is not easy unless you stick with the OE tyre.

unless you want to upgrade the tire size you are stuck with limited choices.

you can try the Bridgestone RE760. from review they seem ok and will last way longer than the RE050A.

one of my buddy had a 2008 G37...stock tire size on the G37 is really a *****. because if you would want to upgrade you'll have to go to 245/40/19 on the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. otherwise none of the other size are similar in diameter.
