Thanks again.

mr.zforce- yah, i think 295/35 should fit considering michelin states spec width is 10-11.5" wheels.

but not sure if it would really give you that much benefit over 285/35/19? it's 7mm taller than 275/35/19...

i also see a 305/30/19 offered, but it's recommendation is for 10.5-11.5" wheels.

Mr Kenchan, thanks, I just made a call to Tire Rack to stock check Pilot SS in 295/35 and backordered - retooling ETA 1/3/2014. I will pass, been waiting since Sept and they will probably extend that ETA out further once 1/3/2014 gets here.

Gonna go with your S04's 265/35 & 285/35. The agent stated the the S04's would be second preferred ranking right behind the Pilot SS and the Pilot A/S 3's would be third ranking.

I am happy with the tire I went with and would like to thank you very much for taking your time to assist.

Uh oh. I am near the end of my tire life. I had planned on a third set of Michelins PSS very soon.

You might get lucky - I was not so lucky - and they come in on 1/3/14, I could not wait any longer, tires are bald and a nail in one of the rears - it's holding up thou without adding any air.

I am sure I will, especially after your first hand experience and recommendation.

Thanks, I will take the $50 visa gift card and run.

No Z to tinker with as its in storage

Its a great time though as I read through DIY articles, read up on stuff I don't know and stalk the For Sale section for any gems that pop up lol.
