At last... we have peace. 
And look at the conical nature of the wide 11's- much better.
Will continue to listen to us and lower the damn thing? LOL

I never heard you could swap PS2's left to right- they are not directional but actually asymetrical right? I have had 5 sets of PS2's and never swapped them ever.....

Curious, what's your reservation about dropping the car..
I personally agree with leaving it for now at least. We all know bigger wheels and / or lowering makes a car look better but I still think your car looks great. Even with the 19 s. happy to see that. Cuz if I ever change wheels I might stay at 19.
I remember when I got my 17 inch 3 piece mono blocks on to my w126 to replace my 14s everyone said drop it.. I held out for 5 yrs. it looks beyond brilliant now but that's a different situation.

More often with all season tires is this the case
Obviously with directional tires you shouldn't have the tread go backwards.
Bottom line is not to swap the tire side to side with taking the wheel out, but I suppose in directional tires you can do that..
Maybe Luke from tire rack can chime in
