We all have diff needs......
Glen,
I'm interested in the "quiet" issue. What would be your estimate of the percentage reduction in tire road noise? Exactly what tires did you go with?

A guess....40 pct quieter? who knows, I can hear the diff is the only thing I know....much less whine, I don't care about having run flats, these are not.

Nitto INVO is the tire model....

275/35 19 or 275/30 19? 30 mm increase in width front and 20mm increase in width rear? any issues?

how about 265/35 19 in front so both front and rear widths increase by 20mm? seems to make sense since wheel rim with is increased by 1" front and rear.

The Michelin original equipment tires were
very quiet when I drove a C7 on various
road surfaces. Michelin are top of the
line tires. Have on my C6 Grand Sport.
However, what do I know only owned
a tire store.
