Handling package street tires 285/35 F 295/35 R

[Jonyxz]

Replaced the Trofeo RS with tires more street friendly. Went with Conti ecs2 285/35 f 295/35 r.
The increased profile gives a little more ground clearance and the slightly stretched fit keeps the turn in response sharp. Wheel well also fills a little better and doesnt poke as much in the front. Ride is more comfortable, quiet and no more rocks hitting the wheel liners. I'll put the trofeos back on when the track near me opens again.
Here's some pic for anyone wondering how these sizes look on the handling package wheels.

Looks great! Love that color.

Might be a dumb question but can I install 285/35s on both front and rear? (I also have the Handling Package on my Dark Horse) The reason I ask is that I'm partial to Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus tires and they do not come in a 295/35 size.

Yes, 285 fits in a 11" wheel. Its slightly stretched, which is actually good for handling. Narrower tires are also better for winter.
Wheel rim will be a little exposed, so be careful with those nasty curbs
