I need some help deciding on my next purchase.
Option 1: Re-11's on stock sport Rays
255/35/19 x9
285/35/19 x10

Option 2: Nitto NT05's on 4 rear stock sport Rays
275/35/19 x10 SQUARE

Will be used for around 30-40 autox runs and 5k DD miles a year. Im lowered on swifts and i just got Koni yellows in today. Also have whiteline sways. I know the RE-11's are a much better tire and i'd save $300+ by getting them, but the square setup is tempting. Maybe later i could put RE-11's on the square wheels but i dont want that to factor into my decision bc im want to make the best ax runs with what i have atm. Square wheels + RE-11's is too much $$ right now. Although they may not be ideal, these are my 2 choices so im looking for specific opinions.

Which one would you choose and why? Will one setup wear out tires faster? Would these wheels put me in a different ax class? Actually im not sure what class i'll be in with the koni yellows. Prior to that i was SSM, so any info there would be appreciated also

Thank you much
