Tire predicament. 285/30/19 or 275/30/19?
Most of you know that i'm looking to replace my tire. I know it's been forever. lol! 
Here's the situation. I'm only looking to get a Michelin brand. Problem is the Pilot Super Sport doesn't come in a 285/30/19 size(it's either 275/30/19 or 295/30/19). However, the discontinued and out going model PS2's does have a 285/30/19 but again it's disco.
So the question is.
1. Do i just get the 275/30/19 and be done with it?
2. Keep on waiting to see if there is going to be a 285/30/19 PSS in the future?
3. Just get the discontinued PS2 in the 285/30/19 size?
4. Or go for broke and see if a PSS 295/30/19 will work?
Almost leaning towards the 275/30/19 PSS because it's cheaper and has longer thread wear.
HHHmmmm.....

If you are on a 10" rim, go with 275. If you are on a 10,5 i would go for the 285. 285 on a 10" rim is to much rubber on the edge and will look a bit like a BMW M5 E60 stock rim 285/35 on a 9,5" rim

a 10'' rim is a perfect fit for a 285 width tire. i use tire rack, they have a lot of good info. if you go to 'specs' of the tire they tell you what width rim you should have for the tire.
