Default Continental or Hankook?

The DW Continentals are available in the stock size for the Nismo 19" rims with
245/40/19 and 285/30/19. The 305s may not even be available until next year.
These seem like a nice choice for performance and comfort with less noise.

The next are the Hankook. 275/35/19 and 305/30/19 are available at the moment. The front is more than an inch wider than the factory, so two more inches+ of extra contact area. Will this lead to more noise and reduced turning radius with extra noise? I would like the wider meats on the back, but do not want to mix brands. No other size is available that is close to even working with this brand. These seem like a good choice for comfort and stopping power, plus great handling in case there is rain.

I just cruise with these tires. The car gets only street use with myself and sometimes my wife, no track use. I have a set of 18"s in case I want to run the track, but would need a brake upgrade first. This is not a DD.
Need some opinions on this please.
