It's close, but to me my summer setup is a lil bit better in terms of grip. Both perform well in wet conditions. Imo both the Continental and Michelin are great can't go wrong with either. I chose the Continental because they're slightly less in price.
Sorry , I meant looks wise, how they sit in wheel wells, how the rears look width wise how the car rakes front to rear?

The 275s sit nice and flush in the front fender wells. And the 305s are flush as well, but the 315s are just a bit more than flush. Not by much though, you really have to look hard imo. Not much of rake that I can see, looks just about level to me. I do plan on lowering it here soon though.

Thank you very much for the input!

The wheels/tires in the pic are my summer setup. They are 20x9.5-275/35/20 and 20x10.5-305/35/20 with Continental ExtremeContact Sport. I have a winter setup which are 20x10-275/35/20 and 20x11-315/35/20 with Continental DSW06. Low speeds the speedometer is fine but highway speeds it's about 3-4 mph off.
Are your rear winter tires also the RTR tech 7's with the 45mm offset. Thats the last thing I'm a little worried about since I can't find anyone else running the rtr tech 7 10.5" r 20 45mm offset with the 315/35 with no rub.
The Steeda setup uses a 53mm offset when they sell theirs

Thanks, I cancelled my order and I'm going to rethink this purchase. I like these SVE wheels and I'm thinking maybe the Pirelli All-season which has the 305/35r20 size.
I wanted a 1 stop shop shipped to my door but that way not be possible

I ended up buying the wheels you suggested and they look beautiful!! So thanks again.
Now I just can't decide on tires. Spend extra $500 for the Michelin's for the perfect size 275/35 & 305/35 or get the DWS 285/35 & 315/35 . Oly thing worrying me is the extra height on the rear. Seems like the car will almost be 1'/2" higher. Does you car look noticeably higher on you winter setup? Do you notice it handling any different on highway?

No problem, glad I could be of help. After reading and watching countless reviews the Continental and Michelin are just about neck and neck in performance. The DWS has a 275/35 for the front but no 305/35 for the rear, that's why I went for the 315/35. It's only a very slight width difference between the two. I've noticed no difference while highway driving between the summer and winter setup, other than the summer tire have a bit more grip.

I’m just hoping the increased height in the rear won’t mess up handling.
Also , will speedometer be an issue ?
You’ll be off by 1 MPH

getting my switchover on Thursday. Went with Michelin X Ice. Pricy tire but I wanted the best overall winter tire you could buy. Not looking for a flame war lol. After reading reviews, it always wins out. Had Kumho P72’s before and they weren’t half bad for a mid-priced winter tire
