ZCP Wheels, What tires should be next?

Hello all! Currently running 245/265 on stock 19s. I recently purchased the ZCP wheels, immediately I purchased 255/35/19 MPSS up front.

What are your guys experiences with rear sizes with the 255 up front? What are you guys running?

Currently on stock EDC non-zcp set up e92. I was told 295/30/19 fits on the rears, but how does that work with 255? Isn't 295 a bit too big for the rear on ZCP?

Question is, should I go with

275/35
285/35(no 30 since MPSS isn't in those sizes)
295/30 (recommended by my discount tire..)

Looking at strictly MPSS. I do mostly aggressive driving in the canyons, and some autocross as this is a weekend car.

Would appreciate any feedback! I seemed to look for size opinions, but all the threads seems to be pretty old, and with so many people try newer things, just wanted to see what people are running and what would work better!

255/35 275/35 is a proven change that will work. these are the perfect tire size for the OEM competition wheel.
I recently switched from PSS to B-Stone S-04.

I would run 275/35/19 in the rear.

285/35 is too tall, 295/30 makes hte tire bulge too much on a 19x10. Will lose "feel"

255/275 is a match

If you want 295, I would've gotten 275/30 up front, so the difference in front/rear tire size stays the same/similar.

Someone was telling me 285 would be more of a perfect fit because of the GTS tire size, but it would be with the 35 sidewall.

It all depends on what you want to do. My daily driver wheels are two front ZCP with 255/35/19 on them. When I go to the track I have two rear ZCP with 265/30/19 pilot sport cups on them.

I personally like the GTS sizes, which btw are 255/35/19 and 285/30/19. The only issue is if you have to have the Mich PSS. I had this on my 2013 before I got new wheels and went with a 275/30/19 and a 295/30/19 since I went with 19X10 and 19X11. I had the Conti SportContact5Ps in GTS sizes and I was very happy with this tire. I found them to be just as good as the Mich PSS.

Personally I can't tell any diff daily driven on the street. B-stone felt more quit and comfort ride on the street n highway. it grips really well in the rains too.
if you are willing to give up a little in terms of handling and grip for a bit softer ride and lower price point. The S04 are no brainer.

Nothing beats the MPSS for grip. I'm in love with them for a street tire.
I'll be honest, I was going to get the s04, but had already purchased my fronts in MPSS. Just went with 255/275 set up. Will Howe ever, after these burn out, get 255/285/30 set up with a different brand, maybe the s04, unless the new PS4 will have them..

I ordered the ps4s' and they will be here on Tuesday. They are the replacement for the mpss and are supposed to be a good improvement. I will let you know my opinion of them as I am coming from mpss now. Btw the correct name is ps4S as the ps4 tires are all seasons only available in Europe

Haha you must post pics of both. The two fronts on the rear must look so.....odd.
