C6 Wheels ready, Now to get tires
I've picked up a set of C6 wheels and spacers for the rear. I'm ready to purchase some tires for them.
Stock tires were 245/40/18 and 285/35/19 for the rear. I'm trying to decide if I should remain with these sizes or go with a 265/35/18 and 305/30/19.
Also I'm leaning towards the Hankook's but want to know about the Firestone Wide Oval 500's non RF?
Any advice is welcomed.

I currently have Hankook V12 Tires and like them. Tire Rack had the best prices until the shipping charges to Hawaii. I was surprised that Amazon sold tires. Their price was $180 cheaper due to free shipping so I ordered them.
Total cost was $908 for 2 x 245/40/18's, 2 x 285/35/19's and new black chrome McGuard lug nuts and locks, shipped!
Pretty happy with that. They will be here next week too. I still have to prime, paint and spray gloss on 3 more C6 wheels. I stripped the factory gray off and painted the one a dark graphite metallic. It turned out good!
