tire brand and model makes a difference. [/QUOTE]

from my personal experience, i don't know why but Michelins tires usually come one size smaller, similar to Nike athletic shoes size 11 is actually a size 10 with other brands).

You can go to places like Discount Tires and show them the Tire Rack prices. They will special order them for you matching TR's prices.

OK... I e-mailed TireRack about getting the PS2's in 285/30-19 and below is the e-mail I received. Looks like Michelin won't release that size till next summer. 
So should I stick with the 275/30 in the PS2 or other suggestion. Thanks!!!

Alternate tire size combinations we recommend for the Z are:
245/35R19 F 275/35R19 R - fits perfect - $1482.19 delivered via UPS with Road Hazard - $1333.80 without.
255/35R19 F 285/35R19 R - may require front fender lip roll to fit - $1623.02 delivered VIA FedEx 3-Day, Road Hazard is not available due to the price of the rear tire.
If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to contact me at ext.674.
Thanks,

You are right to a certain extent but 275s no matter what application are on the narrower side for 10.5 wheels. They will look stretched a bit on the edges. When you are on the high side of the application chart for 275s, 9-11 for most, it's not going to sit square. I would love to see a pic of a 275 on a 10.5 wheel that sits perfectly square. I have not to this date, regardless of the different applications and/or section widths, seen one that sits better than 285s.

This is purely for looks. Just like the looks of a wide tire in on the rear wheels.
