FWIW - I just installed new Bridgestones- 245/35-19 and 275/30-19. I'm sorry I went with the Tirerack "correct" size on the rear. The 285/35-19 PS2s had so much more sidewall and really fit the fender well much better than the Bridgestones. Huge difference in diameter and it doesn't look as good.

Next time I'll stay with 35 profile on the rear.
