Picture difference between Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Hankook ventus V12

I asked the question in the past but got no answer. Here is a picture showing the difference between my old 275/30/19 Hankook Ventus V12 evo vs. my new 275/30/19 Pilot Super Sports. I knew it was bigger but wasn't sure by how much. Hope this visual helps someone out there that is worried about rubbing with this size on a lowered car. I am et +38 on H&R Sports/koni yellows.

Thanks for the pics. I'm going from goodtear eagle f1s to the pilot super sports and this pic kept me from getting any kind of spacer until i see the tires on the car.

Crazy the width difference. I've always run Michelin Pilot's and I'm glad I have been. My current 255's are like 260's lol

Are those tires only, laying flat? Quite the difference.
