Default Tires for TE-37 SL

Hi guys just bought some TE-37 SL 19" 19x9.5+22 (f) 19x10.5+12 (r) and was wondering what spec tires I should buy that would give me a soft ride with minimal road noise and comfort but at the same time great traction? Please specify specs thank you.

Hankook v12s are quiet, soft, and gives you traction. Seems like they fit your descriptions exactly. I do think the sidewalls are a bit too soft for my personal preference..

Michelin Super Sports.

Better traction than stockers
Quieter than Stockers
Look better than stockers.


For a 9.5/10.5 setup, look at a 255/285 or 295 tire setup. Looks/works fantastic.

Continental DW's. for a nice set of wheels dont get some cheezy tire set. these DW's are like the very bottom i would get for my Z. that's just me.

Those are the closest sizes to OEM specs in regards to overall diameter..

275/35 is almost identical in size to 245/40

305/30 is the closest you can get to 275/35 for the rear.. It would be better to get a 315/30 but no one manufactures street tires on that sizing..
