PSS only come in 305/35-19. Which is 27.4. The 345/30--19 is 27.2. Now if you go with Cup 2 tires. They have a 305/30-19 that is 26.3. The PSS 305/35-19 is the height you want.

Meaty tires. Anything less is salami slicing. 4, 345's. The 2 on the left are worn PPS's. The 2 on the right are Mich Cup. The Cup tires have a stiffer sidewall.

Rears are easy. Get crazy up front and then let's talk.

335's in the front

Does it have a big difference in Autox? In race tracks it is not worth it as it make the car slower in long straights, but Autox is a different story, but I am still beginner for wide tires, the most I fitted was 285 on front

Yes it does. For autox you typically want the widest possible tire you fit on the car and stay within the class rules. Some classes have max wheel and tire widths and others have weight penalties for wheels over a certain width. In my class there aren't any restrictions beyond how much fender you can cut for clearance.

The one downside I've seen moving from 315's to 335's is generating tire temperature. That extra inch of width per tire makes a huge difference.
