Wider tires will improve your handling in the dry. In rain or snow, it will hurt handling. A 305 may be overkill unless you're putting down serious power.
What would you recommend for a street tire for both looks and performance? Wheels are 19x9 +15, 19x10.5+15, might lower with swift spring in the near future

i know i cant have best of both worlds but i am more than willing to balance them out.
