I have to get a set of new front Tires for my 05 Sport Coupe and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to look for or get? Right now I have Falken's on the rear and am pissed that they dont make Falken's for the sizes in the front. I was thinking about Toyo's and have heard a lot of good things about them. Right now I am wearing down the Michellins that are on the front. Thats right I have Michellins on the front and Falken's on the rear since my rear Michellins wore out I wanted to try out a new tire and Falken is a great tire for a great price. I honestly believe that Michellins are completely over-rated not to mention their outrageous prices, but I guess you get what you pay for?
So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you!!!
Tires?
I love my Toyo Proxies! 10x better than the OEM Bridgestones. My OEM tires were replaced at 13k...and I'm at 32k now with about 40-50% tread remaining! Plus they grip better in all conditions.

Do you have the Proxes 4 or the Proxe T1R ?
They are both great tires, the T1R's are def. awesome tires.

How often do you balance your tires? I have the OEM tires on my G37S and because you can not rotate them the dealer says to have them balanced every 7,500 miles?

Summer or All-season?
Re: (joe603)
Hands down, the Toyo Proxes T1R is a miracle. Even when thew tire is worn, it still performas. Mine is worn completely and I still drive it hard and it still grips. In fact, the T1R behaves like slicks in dry conditions, after it has worn down. I am only going to change the tires because of rainy conditions. Other than that, I probably would use the tires until the wires start popping out of the rubber. Even after driving it hard on my secret track, I still managed to get 18K from the tires. If I had driven them normally, I probably would have at least another 5K miles or more to go. The front tires still look great. Of course, i am talking about my rear tires.

I did all my research from tirerack.com. The best that was suited for me, in terms of performance and price, was the Yokohama S Drive.
