Default Very specific pic request: 18/19" combos

Want to compare sidewall heights between brands and models of tires.

However, I am ONLY looking for...

a) ...side shots of your car.

b) ...265/35/18 front, 305/30/19 rear combos.

Please list which tires you are using!

I know I have posted some of these a few times, but my set is cast in the sizes you requested, so here it goes.

Fronts are 18x9.5 +50 offset. Rears are 19x11 +53 offset. Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 EVO.2's in 265/35/18, and 305/30/19.

I have tons of pictures with these wheels, so don't hesitate to ask, if you desire a certain angle, or something brighter, darker, or close ups of a rear and a front individually.

Thanks, bud! That last shot is what I am after. That is a good picture that shows the sidewall height ratio front-to-rear. Your Hankooks look pretty even. I was ready to pull the trigger on a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports until I saw a picture of another member's car. His front 265/35R18 looked like a damned 285. It was wayyyyy bigger than any other tire in that size. The front tires looked as tall as the rears. Come on, Michelin. Get your sh@t straight...

I have always REALLY liked the Hankook Ventus EVO tires on the street; grippy, quiet yet they let you know when they are about to lose grip, long lasting, downright stable in the rain, they're one of the cheaper options as well as being quite handsome, as you previously noted. However, they do start getting hard bellow 50 degrees (like every summer performance tire).

I will post another couple at similar angles for ya, since that was what you're looking for

Thanks!

How do you like those PS91s? I read mixed reviews on Tire Rack, but none of them were Vette owners with similar sized tires.

I can't quite review them as of yet since it is still cold out.
They do seem to be fairly quiet though so far.I can give a better traction review once it warms up.

Wouldn't that new hood look great with some bronze Forgelines?
