Default Tires Sizes for Front: 245/35/20 or 235/30/20?

Hey guys,


Need your opinions guys, Normally I would do 245/35/20 in the front but in these set of wheels I went with 20x9 +16 offset on a sc430 which is a very aggressive offset so I wanted to get 235/ *35* / 20 instead of 235/ *30* / 20 because the 35 series gives you enough cushion from bad roads and potholes.. but all the brand tires that I like DON'T come in 235/35, all is 235/30..

My question to you, anyone here used to run a 245/35/20 and now riding on 235/30/20? With less thickness of rubber do you noticeably feel a harsher ride?

Thanks


btw, I am running stretched tires all around, my ONLY concern is going from 35 series to a 30 series in the fronts ONLY..

What brand tires do you like and any reasons for liking them over the others...reason, I am looking to upgrade my fronts soon, going stretched also. Looking at Nitto Neo Gen or Kumho SPT in 225/35/20 on 8.5.

I can't believe you care about ride comfort running stretched tires...

the two just don't go well together...
