Best tires for my g?

Hi ALL, I have a 2008 G37S and I am looking to replace my tires. Went with the orginal tires for my second set and was extremely dissapointed.

Currenlty Looking at Hankook's or Yokoham's.

Does any one have any experiance with either in a more current model?

Thanks!

Hankook v12's aren't too bad. They are fairly quiet and grip well. I like them better than the stock Bridgestones.

My vote would be for the 760's. RE-11's and Mich SS's are great tires, but pretty short life. Sticking with a summer tire that will provide some decent life is hard. The 760 does a pretty good job at it.

I bought the Bridgestone 970AS, returned them in a week, they felt terrible on the car. I ended up getting the Michelin Pilot Super Sports! They are amazingI cant say much about the RE050's I bought my sedan with 26K on the RE050 tires and replaced them at 31K. I will say the Michelins grip like no other!

I've had one set of Hankook V12's (on the car now), great grip but I am barely under 12k miles on them and they are about done.

Had 2 sets of the Yokohama S.Drives on my last G and almost got 30k miles each time.

I'M going back to the Yoko's.
