Mounted up this morning.............went with the new Conti ExtremeContact Sport 02 tire in factory sizes with the rear wheel 1/2" wider than stock.

The sidewalls are more rounded than my RF tires (even being the same size). Before install tomorrow I'll weigh each F&R wheel and compare. This setup should be lighter.

I find the sidewall on the rear tires more rounded than I prefer but it's on a 12.5" wide wheel so it is what it is. Compared to my S007A RF tires I think the tread width is not as wide even being the same tire size. The last picture shows this and feel free to let me know if you think the same thing. I know it's not a proper comparison, the Conti's are on the car and the B/stones aren't.

I was going to say the same. From the front and rear they look cool, but they look odd from the side. Anyway, as long as you like them that's all that counts!
 
I'm not saying I like it but it's on the car now and I'm not switching back. Also trying to sell the RF tires so these are going to be on the car for now. I'm sure on a 12" wide wheel the rounded sidewall won't be as pronounced.

Also looks like I'm stretching a tire on there, and the new Z06's and Shelby GT350/500 Mach 1 has that look also on their factory setups.
