235/35/19's are close but they're 1.54% larger than the stock 225/40/18's. 275/30 is actually 2.13% smaller than the stock rear 255/40/18's.
By going with the 235/35/19's in the front and 275/30/19's, you're reducing the front to rear stagger overall stagger from about 1" to nothing. This might lead to negative consequences with the traction and stability controls, which are calibrated to the stock diameters.
If it were me, I'd go with 235/35 and 265/35's.

nope i was right: tiore size is 245 40 19 and 275 35 19. I bought the wheels from the TOM'S distributor here and thats wat he says TOM's Recommends. I did the whole tire calculcation and its around 7% off the dimension of the stock wheel. Should i trust TOM'S? wat do i lose, just odometer accuracy?

I had PS2's on my previous car (BMW Z3). They have amazing traction, and are a great tire if performance is your goal, but they also wear very quickly and are magnets for road debris.
It does sound like you are leaning towards a more luxurious driving experience, though.

I can vouch for that. 15K is about what you should expect with these tires from my experience. The PS2's are great tires, but I also heard many positive things about the CSC3's. I read European reviews that say the CSC3's are a vast improvement over the CSC2. For good ride quality I would consider CSC3 or perhaps Yokohama Advan Sport, but I think you would be happy with either of these.

PS2s were for 1866, both dealers changed their initial quotation due to different stock! the cheap offer i got on the CSCII earlier was because they were manufactured at 2005
