On a different note, the PSS are hard to find. The rear ones are on a 2 month back order until production kicks in.
I was offered the All Season version (AS3's) but don't think I want to go that route.

I'm a bit worried with these plus sizes on factory wheels, don't want any rubbing or other issues.

Check out Goodyears asymmetric 2 tires. I actually prefer these over PSS tires.

Well, here is how it went. I ordered the OE size tires.
TireRack called me and said, "we just want to make sure you understand, the rear tires are not available until either October 2015 or March 2016
, Michelin is changing something in their production line, and they are running behind on orders.
So he says, you can go 265/35/19 for the rear, and 235/40/19 for the front. Ran me another $200 but what the heck. It is a guranteed fit.
Next it was time to find a High End installer. I went by Discount Tires and even though they received great reviews, nobody spoke with me for the 10 minutes I was there. The whole place looked like a High School Auto Shop. I went to check another installer and was pleased.
My tires will be here early this week so I'm happy.

I will update with the install, fitment, driving and photos as well.
Automotive Chasis & Tuning will handle the install. When I arrived they had a Z06 sitting outside and an Evo 8 on the rack. The Manager said they deal with high end cars, so that made me warm and fuzzy. I took the time to explain the last time Lexus of Pleasanton fixed my flat tire, they messed up the rim on the inside (scratched it) and I will not stand for that.
I may have them swap the oil as well.

Got the tires installed. The shop didn't nick or damage my wheels (or the car for that matter), so I am happy.
Car rides great, very smooth and quiet. I will take some photos soon.
