Maybe i should do bridgestone ?

So much to consider

yes, it is. it's not just 10mm width, you're also adding height and weight and squirm.

ive not driven the pss's so i can't say for sure, but im pretty sure the S04's are stiffer than the PSS.

if tirerack would get back to me when the pss 285/35/19's would be back in stock, it would be easier for me to just buy a set of 4 to replace the DW's on my weds. then i can speak from experience.

until then, im only going by reviews and surveys at tirerack and some from this site which is informative, but not fully understandable. the pilots ive tried in the past were good tires though, still on the softer side than bridgestone. that could be a good or bad thing depending on what you want.

but if going wider on a softer sidewall tire, i can only imagine the car will not respond quickly as it should.

Ms BC -- I hate to admit this publicly, but "Mr" Kenchan is correct. 305 width are likely going to be pretty squirmy.

on my 10.5" wheel (sport 19's are 10" width) i dont plan on going wider than 285.

I'm gonna go w/ 285 on the next go-round.
