Yes and yes!

It really works, it's faster, and it's easier.

Also, in straight line acceleration the car hooks up much better with little to no traction loss in power shifts from 1st to 2nd. The last thing is the additional width helped close off some additional fender gap and the car looks so mean with that chunky tread!

I had the install done at Shoreline Motoring in Huntington Beach and they did a great job leaving no scratches on the wheels, bagging my old tires so I could bring them back and covering the interior to protect from them getting in and out of the car.

Looking good Christian, as always.

Thanks everyone! I chose them after seeing how good some of your cars look on the same sizes, it is perfect in my opinion. I'm running 265/35-19s in the front and 285/35-19s in the rear. They fit the S/P Rays perfectly too, the guy who installed them said he was surprised the larger widths fit so well.

Also, I ordered the last two 285 width tires Tirerack has, they said they don't know when they'll have them in stock again.

/\ when we needed tires a little while back, the plan was RE-11s but tire rack didn't have rears in stock (oem nismo sizes--285s) and nether did discount tire or a couple ohter places I checked. PSS's aren't available yet in our size either so we had to "settle" for the PS2s. I'm hoping the PSS's will be available in our size by the summer/early fall when I need to buy new tires again. Or at least the RE-11s.
