At least in the US, the PSSs are not available in stock 265/35-19.

To the ones that chose 255f / 275r: Why did you go this route? Is it looks? Is it performance / better grip? Going larger means going heavier (and tyres is the worst place to be adding weight), not to mention larger circumference i.e. torque to the wheels is lower. I know differences are small but why take any hit?
I find the stock size quite ideal all issues considered, and grip is very good in my experience with stock 19'' sizes in PS2s.

I think most do it for the meatier footprint, both for looks, and if using wider aftermarket wheels, for fit. As you say, the difference is small if just going 10mm wider, and Michelins are already some of the lightest tires. Going to 20s is a much larger difference.
