Lots of tread. It just rained pretty hard yesterday and the Z performed very well.

Wait, we talking about DW or DWS here. Two completely different tires! The Z should not be run on the DWS if you want performance.
I ran the DW for a while. I loved they were the lightest tire! Not the grippiest but on a WRX they held very nice! Never dragged on them so not sure if they hook up but again with the WRX a hook up is night and day vs a Z. Some guys have tracked on them and liked them but they will get slick. I loved the smooth quite ride vs the stock loud bridgestones. It also seemed to last a long time with low camber on the WRX.
OP id 100% increase the tire size! Try square if you want, 285/285 would work on the 9.5" front wheel. If you're not into the best handling you could even go 320 on the rear. In my book though I go 10% over the wheel but not over 20%. So your fronts a 265-285 and rear is a 295-320. Remember though a DW is light because of a weak sidewall. Going up to 20% on that tire is going to squish. 10-15% will handle a little better.
