I have a 2013 Base/Sport. Im in a bit of a predicament and need help. I will list my mods that I just installed and explain.

Nismo struts all around
H&R Springs
15mm H&R spacers front
20mm H&R spacers rear

I have 14k miles and needed new tires. With this suspension installed, I loved the car on my stock Bridgestones and thought it was great. However, my rear tires were already on their way out, so I had to replace them.

After some reasearch and a good ebay deal, I chose a pair of 285/35/19 Hankook Ventus Evo2's. The tires grip well, but now I have this unsettling crabwalk. Its as if im on slicks. I understand these are softer and have a softer sidewall then the OEM Bridgestones and could be the issue.

So heres where I am.
Do I find hankook evo2's for the front and hope that matching all 4 will make the car happy again or cut my losses and buy all 4 of something different?
