Hey guys, got new kicks, but now im debating myself on the tire options. im not sure if i should stretch it a little (kinda like the look) with the 265 or get 275 for practicality etc etc. I really really dont like bulging side walls, so should i get 265 or should i get a specific brand (help me out here) of the 275s so they dont bulge.

thanks in advace!

I just got a set of wheels in 19 x10.5. I ordered a set of Hancooks in 265 30 19. Are they going to be a big stretch?

Yeah i'm leaning towards the 275 but if there are extra chubbs sticking out of the rims I'll be petty sad.
looking for tires now......my wallet had a bulk load of cash before, now it lets out a fat noise when I open it

275 should be just fine. 275 35 is also the closest to stock in terms of speedo readings. 285 would get my vote if you want the most meat possible on your rims.

Another thing to remember is that most 275s are quite a bit lighter than 285s, like almost 4 lbs in some cases. Most people spend thousands lightening up brake rotors, but the weight loss of a tire has more benefits since it contributes more to energy/braking loss.
