Rear tire pic request

I'm close to buying new tires for my 07 coupe. I've narrowed it down to either the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP OR the Firestone Firehawk Wide oval RFT.

I'm leaning toward's the Michelin but I am a little concerned about aesthetics. The rears for the Michelin are a little narrower and don't quite look as good from the back as the Firestones... I think.

So, do you have pics for the above two tires? If so please post them.

Thanks

I'd be interested also. Those are my 2 choices, just not sure which look better (wider).

Thanks for the pix. I am surprised to hear you didn't like them. I think most responses about them were very positive. The biggest drawback seems to be the question-ability of repairing a puncture.
