Moving subframe + alignment took about 2 hours. No more than that. Definitely fixed my issue with pulling to the right and especially inside front tire wear.
I agree with the assessment that they are great in wet weather, but otherwise, I'm pretty disappointed considering the reviews these tires received prior to purchasing.

For Southern CA, I take my vehicles to West End Alignment in Gardena. Excellent work, unlike Lexus techs that just print out and set the alignment "within specifications."
Lexus dealers charged me $130 a year ago and couldn't get what I wanted (max tire life + minimize drifting to the right.) West End took car of that + pulling to the right issue by moving the subframe.

The stock wheels are unfortunately narrow, so ideal is the OEM sizes 
. So sad we didn't even get 9.5" in the rear like the Supra did, and it weighs 200 lbs less than the F. So you just have to decide what makes the best compromise for your driving. For what I do, wider tires on the stock rims don't make sense. For what most F owners do, it's not a bad choice at all.

If you're going with the PSS, definitely make sure you go bigger than stock. I went with stock size PSS a few months back, and I hate these tires. I got less wheel spin with almost zero tread left on my Potenzas than I am getting with the PSSs even after several thousand miles.
Everyone on here that went with the larger 245/275 set up seems to have had much better results than I have.

They really stuck good and gave superior traction. After around 10K miles, I got to where I could spin them, but I really had to thrash the throttle. Now I have PSS's (stock size). I haven't had them long, so I'm still trying them out. But the PSS's are a lot easier to spin. I really didn't like the low tread life and road noise from the OEM Potenzas, but I may go back to them due to their stickiness.
I have a PSS 245/35/19 in the front and I wouldn't call it ideal. It's fine for the most part but when i turn the wheel fully to the right or left i get a bit of rub on the inside fender liner. I could probably trim the thing or pull it out but I don't like doing that. I REALLY wish i'd gone with the 245/30/19 in the front. You'll have no problem with a 275/30 in the back.
