The best tires for our cars on the road are PSS and way better than the old PS2 .

It's about average.

With OEM ZCP (competition package) wheels I would run 255/35/19 on the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. The wheels are 9/10 wide

With OEM 19" 220M wheels I would run 245/35/19 on the front and 265/35/19 on the rear. You can go up to 255/275 but the wheels are only 8.5/9.5 wide

275/35R19 will be OK as far as clearance.

They will bulge out a little more on the stock wheels compared to the 265/35R19. Recommended wheel width range is 9"-11" wide, so your 9.5" is within what's recommended.

Just go for the 265's in the rear .
I have them on my ///M220 wheels and they are looking just perfect .
With 275's they will bulge and look off !
So 265's with a spacer of 12 MM is just perfect , but watch out for steering wheel vibrations with spacers !
