I had a real nice long conversation with ben@tirerack, and explained what I wanted and what the pros/cons where.

Long story short, we discussed GTS sizes (285/30 R19) and offerings (conti 5P, S-04, etc), and the plus sizing (295/30 R19) on the PSS or AD08.

His bottom line was this:

given the option of using a 285/30 with the 5p, or the 295/30 with the PSS, he would recommend the 295/30 pss.... the sidewall interaction tradeoff is minimal (according to ben) and only noticeable in extreme cornering conditions for fractions of seconds (until the it settles into the corner), and the "look" I am looking plus the slight increase in surface area contact, would be a good benefit.
