so i have the factory sedan sports 18" wheels and my used car came with brand new goodyear ls2 all season tires. these tires are crap tho. because i made a 180' turn on a left turn in wet ground. anyone use these tires before? what's tire does majority of the folks here on the forum recommend if i had to switch them out? thanks!

They put them on there since they are one of the cheapest options in a 225/50/18 size...

i see, how long do you think they last before i need to buy a new set?

Probably ~40-50k or so...

You can see the reviews/specs here for that tire.

Goodyear Eagle LS-2

It's a grand touring all season tire. You're not really going to get any kind of performance out of these tires. They'll probably like forever that's the only good thing.

i got the same tires on my used 2010 i was hoping the dealer had left the original tires on that way i had an excuse to get better tires. now i have to run these for a while now!

You still have a valid excuse, they're bad tires and you can't drive the G the way it was meant to be driven
Pretty damn good excuse if you ask me

I threw Continental Extreme Contact DWS on my car.
Wonderful tires if you ask me.

My oems were done in 14k.....LOL

^ my car came with Kumho Solus touring tires! the guy i bought it off was kind enough to throw a brand new set on since the stockers were worn (sort of a due diligence move), but a touring tire is overmatched on the G37S. unless a guy drives like a granny i suppose. but then why buy a G37?

i swapped 'em out for a set of Conti DWS for the fall/winter, and then i have a 2nd set with OE Potenzas for summer. both tires are well-matched to the G37.

OP - like you are noticing, the touring tire is not the best match for your car. my advice would be to do some research and find the tire that best serves your needs. buy your ideal set, and then sell the Goodyears you have now. that should help to offset the cost of the new set. (i got $400 for the Kumhos when i sold them, only paid $450 for a new set of Conti DWS so i was only out $50 + tire mounting fees!)
