What size tires are you guys running? I'd like to go back to the pictures on the first page in order to compare the two. I can't decide on the rears. 255/35 or 265/30. How does the wheel gap look running them with 255/35 with fsport springs since running them with 265/30 on fsport spring will make the gap .38" bigger. Thanks for your help!

Ah I tried 15mms front 20mms back. With F-sport springs before, my left side sagged more than the passenger side rear. Resulting in some rubber scrapage

I still need to put on my F-Sport wheels on... I'm just deciding on a tire. There just too many mixed reviews.
I want something with decent traction and good tire life (where to find the balance) but I also don't want to cheap out, but I can't afford to spend $1000+ every year for tires... I probably put about 15-17k onto the car every year.

I just got my fsport wheels put on with the hankook evo v12 venuts k110 and they're pretty nice so far. However, the only gripe I'd have is on my OEM front wheels, 18x8, I used 225/40 and there was a slight overhang of the tire over the lip of the wheel. however, with my fsport wheels, 19x8, wrapped in 225/35, there's no rubber over the lip of the rim to give it that extra protection. They're the same width tire and wheel, but seems with hankook's there's no more rubber overhang for my rims...odd... The noise is quiter than stock and it grips REALLY well. No more screaming when I take the turn at 30. From what I've read there tires will last you a good 25-35k depending on how you drive it. Some sites categorize it as all season and some say it's summer tire. Personally, I don't care since texas is hot as ***** year round and rarely goes below freezing. As long as they grip well in dry and wet weather. 700 shipped for a set.
