2017 G63 tires/brakes/rotors
It's time to change the tire/brakes/rotors and wanted to hear your guys opinion.
Should I go with factory brakes/rotors or is there a better option?
What about tires? Mine comes with Yokohama Advan's, but I have heard alot of people recommend the Pirelli Scorpion Verde's or even the Pzeros. But those are threads from long ago so maybe there are better options now.
I live in Phx,az so I don't need winter tires but the tires do need to be satisfactory in rain and even very light snow.
Any opinions or experience?
Thanks!

My current set have about 30k miles on it, and have alot of tread left. Their problem is that the outer thread is going bald from uneven wear (even though everything aligned) and the wheel starts to shake ALOT after 60mph. They tried to balance the tires and said i3 of the tires wouldn't pass the roadforce balance test and they couldn't save them.

My wife drives it, so the driving is very conservative.

If the tires were OE (usually selected for cost and EPA mileage), then you can't complain much about 30K. But if you've kept them balanced, rotated and inflated, (and there's nothing off on the vehicle's alignment), and the wear has still been uneven, then there's not much motivating you to replace them with the same brand and model. I'd consult your tire dealer -- they have the most experience matching your needs to tire choices, and usually are making their profit on the warranty add-on, not the particular tire they sell you. Others on this forum rave about ceramic brake pads -- pricey, but quiet, long-life, and very low dust -- if you can find a set to fit your calipers. Are your rotors warped or badly scored? You can usually get at least one machining out of a set for far less $$ than a brand new set. But your life rides on tires and brakes, and I never go on the cheap with either one.
