I was looking at the 275 as that the closest size (in terms of width and diameter) to stock that the PSS comes in.... 285/30 will be quite a bit shorter thus increasing wheel gap and the 295 won't work on a 9.5" rim. I was thinking about the PSS because of the good feedback on it's performance.
To Sean's comment above - I think the PSS runs a little wide because of a more square sholder (but I don't know that for a fact) but I also don't know if the OEM Dunlops "run wide" either so I may or may not stepping down a bit in width in the rear. Hard to determine without having a both tires in front of me.
For those on a budget looking at non runflats I think the 275/35-20 choice for front and rear OEM wheels is a good one.
Cost per tire is much better.
Wider front tire will work on stock wheel and still give more front grip and less tendency to understeer- yet not be too wide to increase risk of rubbing if suspension is lowered.
Not as wide rear tire size will fit stock rear wheel and due to the overall tire on the 10.5" wide wheel will give enough traction for street use- not for track use.
Will work with either stock swaybars or with stiffer front and rear swaybar setup (preferred)
Size is close enough to stock tire diameter to still look good whether stock suspension or lowered suspension is used.
Weight is much better than with runflats, sidewalls much less stiff- better handling and ride comfort, less noise, better braking and acceleration.
Downside-
There is a limit to traction depending on which tire you choose. Michelin SuperSport is a good choice, not all tires are up to the task.
Your actual treadwear will vary with your driving style and road conditions, it might surprise you to wear out the tires pretty quickly.
No runflat protection
Not a good choice for track use unless you don't care about wear
Over time as the tire ages the rubber can become hard and noise or ride harshness could worsen.
