Tire sizes and pictures
I need a new set of tires for the crossfire, I did a search and came up with using a 235/40/18 and 275/30/19 does anyone have pictures of this tire combo? Or I'm open to suggestions. Pictures are always good if you have them. Thanks Tim

Re: Tire sizes and pictures
Not to hijack your thread, but I'd also like to see some pictures of 285/30/19 and 275/35/19. I was told the 30 tire width looks strange compared to the fronts, I'd like to see it in action! PICS PLEASE!

Re: Tire sizes and pictures
Damn, those are BEEFY rear tires. Any adverse issues going with the larger tire size? I believe 285/35/19 won't keep your speedo 100% accurate, you'd have to go 285/30/19 to do that...

Gary, How's the handling of these in wet, or if you get caught in some snow by driving too late, or too early in the season. I'm sure they're great on dry, but some tires on wet and you'll be heading for the weeds. Had Michelins like that once

A lot of positive feedback from others too on the thread I started when I got them.

Re: Tire sizes and pictures
your set up is the way I'm going to go Gary. This is a nice look to the car. the profile ratio is a tad to wide for my taste when it's 40F, 30R, so 40/35 is to me just about right. You've convinced me on the Hankooks too. I'll go Conti DWS this time, just to see how they'll do up here. OTOH, if they have problems getting them in then I'll be happy with your recommendation on the Hankooks too
