Can we move up the width any without them bulging and looking ridiculous? Anyone have pictures?

On the stock 10" wheels (285/30/19 tires), can a 295/30/19 fit? The Pilot Sport 4S don't yet come in 285/30/19.

Added advantage to 295s: they are near-enough identical in diameter to the front 255s. The stock 285s are actually smaller in diameter than the front tires! I know...the car is engineered for that, but it really offends my sensibilities

I put 295/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on the rear and there seems to be plenty of room ... I'll go with 305/30 when these wear out.

a long time ago with my first car, I remember thinking if a 225 is stock how would a 255 look? What I found out is that there is more to the equation then simply not rubbing it matters most to me that the tire does muffin-top if you know what I mean?

I too was looking a the 4s tires and saw that they don't have the 285 30 19

How do you like the Pilots compared with Continentals? What's the difference in wear, ride, etc? Do you notice any difference with larger size? Thx.

far better traction is the most obvious thing when switching to the pilots

Actually, I would want a little "muffin" effect, just for a bit of wheel protection. The tire's so wide that it wouldn't look stupid. JMO, obviously...
