Default 19/20 staggered look...which tires???

New to the site and before joining I reviewed several forums on tires. I saw plenty of pics with the staggered or a 20/20 setup look but no one mentioned which tires they had. From Buffalo, NY where it can go from 40 to 80 in any given day in the spring. Looking for a quiet good grip tire. Thinking either Invo's, Proxy T1R, Ventus, or pilot super sport. Need to narrow it down....thanks for any help

Michelins a little better performance, Continentals a little softer ride

The invo isn't really a performance tire, it's more of a grand touring summer tire. That means it's designed to be quiet rather than stick like glue.

Be aware that most of the tires for 19/20 setups are summer only and will not be happy at like 50 degrees or less. Most will see damage (cracking) at really low temperatures.

Misconception about sidewall height, Tires have to be a certain % from each other, not match factory height, The car doesn't know how far it sits in the air, It does know what the % difference between the front and rear rotation is. I run 245 40 19 f 285 35 20 r with no problems
