after 15K miles on my original 09' G37S, the OEM Potenza is going bald in the rear!!!!!
15K? Sure as hell I am not gonna get the same ones.

What are my options? Please give me your best recommendation.
Doing some research seems like Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 is the winning one...anyone knows if they works fine with the tire pressure sensors?

Any other recommendation?

Thanks, any advice is much appreciated.

In the stock size if you can afford them I would buy the new Michelin Super Sports. Also the tire sensors are mounted on your wheels so they will work on all tires mounted on your stock wheels.

 

Bridgestone RE760 sports.
Yokohama S.Drive

 

Is the performance better or what else? It is true, they are expensive, and it is only 30,000 guarantee. Actually, not even sure Hankook has guarantee...

Actually, I can't find the size for the front with Hankook.

 

More expensive doesn't mean more tread life. The old(er) Michelin Sport PS2 has even less tread life

If you are trying to find a matching set of tires for the staggered setup, choices are limited. Some good ones are:

Bridgestone RE760: a little less performannce compared to the stocks but also less expensive (and more tread life)

Michelin Super Sport: The front tires are actually pretty cheap, the rears are expensive. They are new but getting great reviews. They have $70 rebate if you buy a set of 4.

Yokohama S Drive: good but noisy.

I'd go with RE760 if you are cost conscious and don't care about performance that much.

 

I've used the Yoko's twice. Good combo of tread and performance, IMO. I did not notice any road noise with them, either.

 

Hankook isn't good if your looking for good grip, not even close to the factory re050a's. I would either go with another set of re050a's or the michelin pilot super sports. Your re050a's lasting a good amount.. Mine were done at 8k, but i ended up getting another set of them.

 

Search for the hankook v12 report thread where they discuss the +0 option. This upgrade opens a ton of choices up for you, like Continental DW/DWS and others.

 

15-20k is about the range for the 050s, what do you expect from an ultra hp summer tire?? Personally I really like the 050s, they grip like hell and pretty stiff seidewalls for cornering. I'd get them every time if I didn't need all-seasons

 

How about pinging over expansion joints?

 

My car has 33k miles and I still have my stock REO50A's. But during the winter they come off and the Blizzaks come on.

 

no complaints on my V12's

 

I think all tires do that, man...

 

I have to disagree. I have the V12's on my car now and they grip just fine. I didn't really like the RE050's.
