The Rivals IMO are a better all around tire on a dual purpose car..,..

Even if the Rival is barely quicker in the dry for your particular driving style and setup (while being slower in the wet), you won’t be able to fit a 275/35/19 up front.
And, the Rival is much more twitchy at the limit. Not really what I’d want on a track, where the speeds are higher than autox and smoothness is rewarded.
But, if you make it work, post the pics for everyone. I’ll have pics of my 265/35 305/30/19 71R setup later this month.
