Default How wide tires affect overall performance

Just a quick question here.

I will be mounting my new GS4 soon after my OEM tires wear out, 22k miles and still have maybe 30% left.

thinking about going with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 with 265/35 front and 305/30 on the rear.

The GS4 will already be adding weight (comparing to the stock 18") so i am not sure how the wide tire specs will affect the overall performance. anyone have any ideas?

the Z is my dd and i do not track it, for now anyways. But i do take a canyon road to work so there are a lot of corners and curves.

any other recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
