Hi,

Since you need be concerned with Wet performance, going up to a 285 on the rears might really get the car squirrely in the wet. Bigger contact patch - fewer lbs./in.². It might be acceptable when the tires are new, but a couple thousand miles later and you may regret it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
