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...

Well, losing 1-2 psi a day, and don't want to deal with fix-a-flat or the baboons with wrenches at Les schwab... so I just ordered a stock replacement setup, pilot super sports of course!

Maybe in a year I'll try out the wider setup... for now it'll be PSS 245/275's. Doubt I could be unhappy compare to the bridgestoners...

The 285's and 295's are on backorder / not avail for another month...

Thanks everyone for the input!

Seems like the 275's are also now on a national back order for us here in Canada, apparently none in the US to bring up here either as per Michelin.
