It is subjective, but I really like the bulge...it looks more like it has drag tires on and is a lot more noticeable.

Also, I will say it again...let's not forget that we are in the "Meaty Tire Thread" :P

Damn...you always seem to be ahead im the 🍖y tire thread lol

Now you got me thinking...305/35R19 should fit on my OEM 9.5s as well, and that would give me more clearance in the front for those ****** driveways

Well, the only problem with a 305/35R19 is that they are so rare and impossible to find anywhere that they don't really exist, not in my book atleast as I'm not paying $700 per tire, and especially for a slick lol

The choice is definately limited, out of those 5, 2 are winter and one is a slick, leaving only two $400+ options. It almost seems like it would be better to put 305/30R19s at the front, because you have a lot more options and I can get a nice set for $250 a piece...only thing worrying me is the smaller-than-original circomference for the front.
