Default Toyo T1-R in 235/35R19 or Dunlop Sport Maxx in 225/35R19?

i currently have a set of Sport Maxx and i'm quite happy with them except for a small detail, i find them to be too squared... so for my next set of wheels, i was thinking of going w/ Toyo T1S, i had a set of T1R prior to the Sport Maxx, and was quite happy w/ them, plus i think the Toyo are more round, so more suited to those who like that stretch look... but i read a couple of so-so reviews of the Toyo and now i'm reconsidering... should i just go back to the Sport Maxx, get a 225 to get that stretch look or go w/ the Toyo's? any other suggestions?

I can't believe you really care about performance if your goal is a stretched look on 19s.

Default i know what you mean, but here's how i look at it and maybe i wrong but...

the Sport Maxx are a wide tires while the Toyo are a narrower tire... so going w/ a Sport Maxx in 225 shouldn't actually be too far of from the Toyo in term of rubber making contact w/ the road...

also bear in mind these tires are for daily driving, no for track...

finally overall it seems the Dunlop have a better rating than the Toyo...
