Hi everyone,
I have an '08 G37S coupe (RWD, 6MT). I need to replace the rear tires, Michelin Pilot SuperSports, which have worn down after only 18 or 19,000 miles (the front tires still have life left in them). I was happy with the tires up to now, but was expecting to get more life out of them - I don't track the car, and don't do burnouts. I get enough snow where I live that I was thinking of switching to a high performance all-season tire. Does anyone have experience with A/S tires on these cars? How badly would they compromise the dry-weather handling, at speeds up to 75 or so? What would happen if I put A/S tires on the rear and kept the Pilot S/S up front for now? And if A/S tires aren't a good idea, what are your collective thoughts on Michelin vs. Bridgestone summer tires; and what other brands are worth considering?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
