on the 4.2 the P Zero Rosso seems to be the standard tire- no complaints here...
the size is 245/45-18 and do a search as someone had side by side shots of tires and showed how much variation there was. I think it was Pilot Sports or SO3s that needed a larger stated size to be equal, maybe 255/45s. I'm very happy with the P Zeros and will buy again if wear is OK. When I'm spending 2-3 hundred for a tire I don't want to experiment too much.
Good luck and those are nice looking wheels!

I'm leaning towards 18's....
the extra low profile of the 19's won't do much for our allroads IMHO due to the lack of control of our suspensions. Super low proifile tires seem to work best with very tightly controlled suspensions, and even with the H-Sport bars, our suspension could be hardly termed "tightly controlled." IMO all you'll get with 19's is a better look but at the expense of a harder ride.
Personally I'd like to pair this wheel with a set of Toyo T1s' if they come in our size. I've read a lot of really good comments about this tire on the www.my350z board.

You'll be happy with the 18s. a All season hi-performance is my rec.
I have been using the Michelin Sport Pilot A/S and it give all the handling the ar with H-Sports can handle with out over working the shock package we have to live with. and they have you covered for the mid summer snows that can happen. Plus you will get decient mileage.

I just bought their 18 inch RS6 replicas for the same reason but with Pilot A/S
and put Pilot Sport A/S on them, I picked those because I'm partial to Michelins, then picked the A/S over the plain sport simply because of rain performance
