I've been looking seriously at your 1+2 as well as Nitto NT 555 extreme performance...the Yoko's will last the longest, the hankooks are the stickiest, but there are great things said about both. the #3 I am not sure about

I am going with the Yokos personally

I have the 760s they're pretty good. Second in there class only to the S. Drive which I recommend! Also, I've heard some great things about the Evo V12s but haven't seen any real testing for them. Depends what's more important to you Grip or longevity?

I think it depends on you commute situation and if you want performance over longevity. They are all good bang for the buck tires. Best performing would be hankook, but would not last as long. s.drives and re760s are about the same, but generally s.drives are cheaper, so more ppl got for those. I have no experience with nt555.

I just ordered a set of S.drives from Tire rack, they should be here and I can have them installed by Thursday this week. I will post pics of them on my wheels and give my first impressions as soon as they are on the G. Can't wait to finally have my Advan wheels on the car.

Im looking at the yoko s-drives or the Toyo T1R's on my stock rims.

Thinking about the 245/40 and 275/35 set up as other people are.

Few questions:

MPG degradation? Someone mentioned 20% less mpg. This is not acceptable to me if true

Ride comfort. I know my 37S coupe already has a tight suspension, i really dont want to feel the bumps more then I do.

Spacers? Hoping I dont need them.

If the above issues will be true, can anyone recommend another set up for me?
