Really sick of these crap stock tires... basically it'll break lose at will almost... and I'm only at 12k miles. The VDC loves to kick on prettymuch all the time, that's really my only dislike about this car compared to my former tin can on wheels wrx...

I'm set on the PSS, but I have a few questions:

Is there any agreement on the most stable for high speed cornering setup/predictability?

Would going 255/35/19 on the front and 295/30/19 rear the best option?

Suggestions on PSI settings?

Is the trade off with going wider in the back, really just for extra traction off the line, but you give up higher speed stability by not keeping the width the same?

Novice here!!!

Ready to hit the buy button!!! Open to suggestions/opinions as I'd like a predictable setup resulting in the least amount of annoying vdc intervention...

I do trackdays with my PSS's.

Have no problem with stability. I run 35~36 psi in both front and rear.

About 10,000 miles and 12~14 trackdays. Replaced the rears. They wore on the inside. The outside had plenty left. The fronts still have about half tread left.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Tirerack is saying "estimated delivery 4-10-2015" for the 295-30-19's

Any alternatives I should consider? Down to 4/32's according to the stealership...

Square setup is the best for cornering/predictability. Plenty of discussion related to this in the track section.

PSI keep what you have on your door. A little less will get you a little more traction but lose some cornering predictability. The opposite for a little more psi.

Wider rear is really for straight line drag style acceleration.

There are a number of people who feel that off the line acceleration is more a suspension issue then a tire issue for our car.
