Default 285/35 or 295/30

I'm looking for maximum traction on a le-37 19 x 10.5 (+22). I'm debating between a BFG KDW 2 285/35/19 or Continentl contisport 2 295/30/19.

Which do you guys think would fit and look better? I like the 285/35 b/c I don't think it will stick out passed the fender excessively. But i like the 295/30 b/c the sidewall isnt as high.

What do you guys think? Pics would be great.

BTW I'm goin to roll my fenders.

thanx

I would go with the Continentals 295/30

I have Michelin Pilots PS2 295/30 on the rear, I can take pics and post but it won't be till after the 22nd or 23rd, cuz I am waiting to receive my laptop back from warranty work.

If its 70 degrees or hotter out, its a slight spin/dead hook 1/2 the time from a 1st gear roll and the power numbers in my sig. Even a powershift into 2nd gear gets a chirp and your gone, no crazy spinning. Under 60 degrees and it will light up 2nd gear.

Here is a pic for you...

Fit and looks wise, you should go with the 295/30 for sure.
