Replacing Stocks with Hankook's... now or later?

If you have the $$, get the RE11. They are quieter, grip better and ride nicer than stock

Didn't seem like there was a good size for the stock sport rims on the RE-11's.

I was thinking of getting the NT05's at first, but between treadwear, wet traction, and price, I decided not to, replacing my tires possibly more than once a year is not something I'd like to do.

265/35/19 and 285/35/19 works pretty well on my car. 2 wins in 2 tries

How would that work out speedometer wise? Using the tire size calculator it says the fronts would be +0.9mph at 60mph, and the rears would be -0.6mph. So does that mean overall the actual speed would be +0.3mph over the speedometer @ 60mph?

let me plug in the gps datalogger and find out. i believe it reads 1 or 2mph faster

Does anyone know the math on this? Is it as simple as adding the two numbers, which would mean +0.3mph total?
