Previous owner put the same combo on mine, 285/35 and 305/35 G2's. It rains a lot here, and many times Ill use rain mode. Dry traction issues were helped a lot by lower tire pressure. I've been running 30 cold rear, 33 cold front.
Very happy. It's not the 295 that brings it to the edge it's the offset. Here is a picture.
I think any tire on these cars will be bad in the rain if you try hard enough lol.I hear that a summer tire is bad in the rain, yea if you are driving like a hooligan in the rain.

@ Dave2013M3, I think when OP said ’tucked’ he means stretched.
There is very slight stretch on your 275/295 on those widths compared to 285/305 but I honestly like that better. It’s definitely more optimal for handling. I don’t want to come off as some spokesman for G2’s. They were just a cheap package deal to get me by. Not bad for the price but I’ll probably try out the PS4S next to see what all the fuss is about.
Tirerack has MPSS in stock in 275/35 for the front and 295/35 or 305/35 for the rear. I’d probably go with one of those combos.
yeah buddy, the weight savings on the SVE wheels compared to the PP1 boat anchors are crazy. It’s too bad the PP1 wheels aren’t lighter.
I would like to hear from other forum members who have the same combo - on how they feel about it and if they would have done it differently. I am in the market for summer tires (on a new 19-10/11 wheelset) and still haven't made up my mind wrt tire selection. Gotta make up my mind before winter is over!
It's interesting that Discount Tire has a 285/35/19 Michelin PSS to go with the 305/35/19, but Tire Rack does not. As you list, you'd need a PS4S from Tire Rack for a 285/35/19.
