My specs, 19" iforged 8.5 +24 fronts 10 approx +32 rear. Looking for low road noise, good performance. Possibly the option of going wider. Previous Tire was SO3 245/35 275/35. Lowered on tein s-tech
After searching I've come up with 2 choices. Toyo or Michelin PS2.
My options with Toyo are 245/35 275/35 or 255/35 285/35 (with possibly rolling rears with the 285's)
Michelins are just 255/35 285/35 since the 275's are on national back order.
Now from my two choices there is a huge $ gap. Approx 1K for Toyos on larger setup vs. $1600 for the wider Michelins.
If I go wider with the 285's will the tire bulge and look stupid with either brand or will it look pretty flush? I see that most 285 are fitted on 10.5 wide wheels. Is there that much of a difference between the two brands that justify the extra 600+ price? I was hoping for pics of this exact setup because I didn't really find anything. I know the subject has been beaten to death but I need input here before forking over $$$$. Thanks

DEFINITELY go for the wider option you have listed. If you can afford it, PS2's are the way to go. If not, those Toyos are great too. With your offsets, you shouldn't need to roll your fender.
