ive run 275/245/35/19's for a month and a half and have never looked back since the day they were mounted, i get more traction, and i dont feel this "swaying" people are talking about they are great, get a quality tire with a good sidewall, and theyll be fine, in fact, i was recommended these by the company i got them from, they said ABS and DST will work fine and they are within spec for both...

One thing i would like to mention is that when i first put on the 275/35/19 tires on my rears it definitely felt like something was wrong. At the time i just assumed it wasnt anything bad and i had to get used to the wider tires...but regardless it seemed "not right".. i would describe it as follows:
I drove from SD to the Bay area immediately after getting these put on and right when i left discount tires i started feeling this kinda of swagger while riding on the highway. Basically as i drove and changed lanes rather quickly i could almost feel the car shift back and forth with each change lane... wasnt a tight feeling as i was used to with the stock tires... it almost seemed as if the rear of the car was not stable...
After finding out that the tires i had on where too big it made more sense... basically if the tires are too wide then it gives the wheels room to "shimmy" back and forth. This HAS to be pretty bad for the sidewalls and unsafe in general. Having felt that already and people on this board pointing out the tire size problem..seemed like a no brainer to me.. I mean hell those tires were almost 300 a piece through discount ... the set i have now are well below 200 a piece
