Tire Width Suggestions

I have a question as to what plowing is? Would a 265/305 or 255/285 setup get rid of the problem?

Nope. You plow because you have more rear grip than front grip. If you put more meat in the back than the front, the plowing will just get worse.

Of course this is assuming you have good tires. If not, you will plow turning in and snap the rear coming out.
