Appreciate your thoughts regarding new rubber.

Thought I would add a picture of my new skins. The difference in ride quality compared to the Kumo's is like night and day. The picture does not do a good job showing just how nicely the 295/30/20's look in the rear.

How is the fit? Any rubbing with the 295's in the back and 235's in the front?

No rubbing. I feel this is the way it should have come. I believe you will agree when you see it in person.

Thanks for all your help, everyone.

I think I've narrowed it down to a smooth ride and that 'chubby' look, buy American:

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport -- a lower priced tire, asymetrical tread, rated #1 in ride comfort, in the fatter sizes 235/40R18's and 275/35R19's. I'll buy them from TireRack, but you guys should be aware of the tire/wheel comparison tool in the Rims&Tires web page. A big help in making decisions about buying new rubber(s).

Thanks again.

BTW: $800 delivered.
