A tire buldge is most likely from an impact on the road such as a pothole or something. My PS2 had one too, so PS2's are not safe from sidewall bubbles. Since you say you don't track [often] and drive moderately to fast, save your money and get 2 Toyo's. Getting 4 PS2's is a waste if the 2 fronts are good, unless you really hate the Toyo's [which you don't]

Toyo and Falken tyres are good but they are the top of the budget tyre groups, I personally would only fit premium tyres that are proven in independant tests to be the best and my choice would be Goodyear F1s first then the PS2s or Conti sport contact 3s(which is the order they are generally placed in tyre tests).

recommended rear size is 275/30/19

What's the difference on 275/30/19 vs. 285/30/19 is it a taller tire on the 275? more rubber to rim? will it ride better? I ordered the 285, because that's what was on the car right now.. Or is it a width difference.

I'm assuming 275 is less expensive? also some sites are saying 285/35/19 rear and 255/40/19 front for the m5 rims..

I'm currently 245/35/ZR19 in the front and 285/30/ZR19 in the back. What's the difference?
