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?

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.
