Default First Tire Change

Hi everyone,

I'm getting ready to buy the first set of new tires for my 2011 Touring/Sport Coupe. I want to increase the tire size but keep the original Rays Sport rims (F19x9+47, R19x10+30), without suspension mods or spacers.

From what I can tell from online size calculators and reading this forum, it looks like the maximums are (F) 275/35-19 and (R) 305/30-19. I'm a little concerned about excess sidewall bulge and "squirmy" handling with the stock wheels. From what I can tell there shouldn't be any rubbing or interference problems, and the height is only about .2" lower.

I'm looking at Bridgestone Pole S-04's (Summer) or RE970AS's (all season). Any recommendations on the sizes and tire selections?

Thanks
