Hi All - I have a 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport with about 21,000 miles. The factory Bridgestones are at about the end of their life. I priced some new ones but they came out around $1,000. I'd like to spend a few hundred less than that if possible.

The look and feel of the tires are important to me and I will not spend less to compromise in that area. I'd like the replacement tires to fill up the wheel well nicely like my factory tires do. I'm willing to go for a bigger tire if it won't compromise handling. I also want them to last a while so a treadwear higher than the factory 140 is a requirement.

My factory sizes:225/45WR19 245/40WR19

Your recommendations are appreciated!

Only thing I saw for a matching set is:Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport

Which are almost the same as the OEM ones, like $100 cheaper for a set maybe.

Seems that 225/45/19 is a hard size to find.

run a different size tire. 225 is a bit small for a 8.5" wheel to begin with. go with a 245/40 up front and 265/35 in the back.
