My OEM Potenzas are coming to an end and buying new tires very soon. Im getting Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's as my second set but im terribly confused on the sizes all i know is that i need to get 2 tires of 225 and the other 2 245's. Can someone give the full information on what exact type of specs i have to get my Hankook's on. Btw i have the 19 inch sport Enkei Rims the 15 spoke ones if that matters.
After i put on my new tires would any Balancing and/or Alignment be necessary to do since new tires have been put on or no?
It won't alter your alignment but new tires will include balancing when they mount them, might ask if they have a lifetime rotation/balance pkg.
I'd rotate them every 2 oil changes or every 8k miles, and rebalance as needed. They may have to reset your TPMS sensors too.

Ok i understand it now thank you very much for the information!

Does swaping sides really do any good in your opinion? I've seen opinions that say it does and that it doesn't.
It can sometimes fix some irregularity in the wear. I was having a drift to the right while driving straight. Got an alignment that didn't really show anything out of wack and was still drifting. The shop told me to swap the front tires left to right and presto, no more drift.
Don't need alignment, and the shop should balance it with the installation. I would say get the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 instead of the V12s tho, they are much better tires in every category and I believe might even be a couple bucks cheaper.

Do you know if it would be possible if i wanted wanted to go thicker in the rear like 255 or 275?
The Evo V12s are great....except they are directional so you cant rotate side to side. Only front to back but if your running staggared then you are SOL. I had them on my 19s on my max and they are one of the best summer tires for the price.
