Diameter increase is close to 1 inch, which is a lot considering the tire is rolling. It will lengthen the gear ratios quite a bit (and we already have super tall gearing). Also, the speedo will be off quite a bit.

Rest of what I wrote, you can disregard that since that was only PS4S related especially regarding the shoulder blocks etc.

I don't really like mismatched tires and I'll be driving in a lot of colder conditions so I'm thinking about replacing the rears with PS A/S 3+ as well. They don't have 275s but do have 285s, so I'm wondering how well they'd fit.

I think you'll be fine with 285/35/19. Tire diamter increase is only 0.3", side wall increase is 0.1" and only +2.6%. Speedo error is only 0.8 mph at 70mph and 1mph at 90mph, pretty negligible difference.

Overall circumference goes up by almost 1 inch like I stated above, which is pretty significant.

But that’s only 1 inch (0.8” exactly) out of total 83.5”, a mere 1.1% increase.

BTW you originally said Diameter goes up by 1 inch, not circumference. Diameter only increases .3”

So I'm more looking at the PS A/S 4 now, seems like it would provide the best solution to a moderate climate year round daily driver like mine. According to this link, there should be 46 more sizes coming out by July. Hope there'll be something that fits the RC F's stock wheels!

I replaced my PSS with PS4, they are not bad and can be the worthy replacement.
