So the tires were set to 35psi, but the front tires looked a bit low still. So I bumped up the pressure to 40psi to see if it would make a noticeable difference. Surprisingly, I think these tires like a bit more pressure for daily driving. The steering response improved with minimal change to impact harshness. They're a lot quieter and the stickier than stocks. The tread looks great and will see how they wear with the tire pressure adjusted. I'll drive around a bit more and report in. The weight of the wheels haven't made a depreciable difference on the road. I'll check to see how the larger front tires hold up. They seem to match a 10" width wheel perfectly. The rears are stretched a bit, but I'd have to step up to at least a 325 to get a close match.

My front 285/35 invo's on 19x10's fit the same & steering response is noticeable better than previous 245's,,,I was concerned about them wanting to wander or follow bad places in the road; but actually perform better.
The rear 345/30's on 19x12's are heavy-but ride quality & handling is great!

285's on the front. Like a glooooooove! I'm having the lowering springs installed tomorrow :)

Last pics from this morning before lowering. I also checked suspension clearance and found I had a good inch of space. I'll check fender liner clearance, and I'd there is plenty there too, it'd mean we could go larger up front. Now that the tires have a bit of shine, it helps balance out the wheel to tire ratio

Very nice setup. Do you notice any rubbing with the front wheels at full lock or mild lock when driving (hard turns)? Does is it rub over hard bumps or uneven roads?

Also do you have a pic of the inner clearance for the rear wheels?

I don't hear rubbing, but I did notice part of the front fender liner that pokes out was rubbed, like maybe a 1/2"X1/4" length on both sides. Other than that, nothing. I don't have the inner clearance of the rear wheels, but I'm certain there's a couple inches available.

I can't say enough good things about the tires. It's just dramatically better in every category compared to RE050 and Yokohama Advan Sports. I'm still testing them.
