Michelin Pilot Super Sport

According to the Tirerack this tire is going to be available in the stock size for the G37/G35 S Sedans.

I said in previous post that most likely I was going to put S-drives on my car this summer. That might just have changed.
These tires are supposed to be better than the old ones. Can't wait to see it officially tested.

I just wish there was a 225/50/18 that is a decent all season tire. I don't consider the Dunlop to be that good in the winter and a lot of people at the TR don't either. Lots of high-performance summer tires but in Illinois that doesn't cut it.

I hear you but I used winter tires in the winter. Right now i'm running my Blizzak LM-60's.
But I was going to used an all season tire I would probably try the Bridgestone 960's.

Don't really want a grand touring really , and the snow ratings on the avid aren't really any better at all than the sport sp-maxx I have now though..

I just put the 960's on the rear on Thurs....feels pretty solid & not much road noise. Can't really go wrong with a Bridgestone product IMO.

I don't know what some of you guys are talking about since this thread has lost it's way. But the Pilot Super Sport are $166 for the front and $277 each for the rear. In a size that will fit the stock G37 & G35 S sedans. For a total of $886.That's only a few dollars more than the stock REO 50A's. Hopefully the Tirerack did not put an incorrect price for the fronts since there is a big difference in price between the front and the rear tires. And if the price of the front should of read $266 each this dream has ended.

I agree with you Gugarci. They even comes in a size for people with a G37xS sedan with 225-50x18 tires that don't want to change sizes or buy new wheels and they're only $166. dollars. Something for everyone. Of course the bigger sizes get pretty pricy but I would expect that.

$1080 in G37S Coupe OE sizes

Michelin Pilot Super Sport

This is really tempting as I was thinking about the ADVAN Neova AD08 but I would have to go with the alternate size which runs 2lbs per tire heavier and costs $1162 for the set.

Good find, thanks for that review. I did not come across this weekend. Just a lot of videos, but good videos.
But i'm starting to think the front should of been entered as $266 not $166 each. Wait and see all i can do.

Just looked at the Coupe sizes and the front are $224 and the rear are $316 each that's a difference of $92.00. The difference between the rear and front on the G37S sedan is $111.00. Either both of these prices are wrong or they are correct. I'm starting to think they are correct.
