The new 265/35 PSS are now in stock so thought I would upgrade my current 255/35 since it took the set a month to say their goodbyes.. So my question is, is it ok to run those sizes?? or should I stick with 255/35? Regards.

Right but if you want the car to understeer even more, go wider in the back without changing the front.

No, you will exacerbate the understeer if you leave the 225/40/19s up front and go larger in the rear.

If you upsize the fronts, you should upsize the rears too, and of course visa-versa. I'm running 245/35/19 in front and 285/30/19 in back on stock wheels. IMHO, a sweet setup.

^^^^Tire installers should indeed say to unsafe wheel/tire combos. But the 245//285 combo works well on our cars with stock wheels. I've been running my Continental DW since July of last year with absolutely no issues.

and leaving the rears stock size, to try and counter some of the understeer. Are people worried that the added grip in front with bigger tires will cause dangerous oversteer if the rears are not larger than stock?

Luckily, the recommendations in Lou's thread aren't anywhere near extreme. Sure a 275 isn't the first recommendation for a 9" rim, but it's not even in the same league as someone putting a 245 on a 10" rim.
