I started with 245/35/19s. Dunlops are a slight stretch in that size.

Now I'm ruining 255/35/19 dunlops again. Side walls are squared off with the wheel and they look great.
What are you running in the rears?

225/35-19 usually has a 88 weight rating, which is just slightly under what the 2gs needs in the front.

Bubbling a tire for a 2gs in the front has many factors which can include weak sidewall, wheel barrel out of spec, underdamp/blown shocks, suspension bottoming out at high velocity, and road hazards.
