I know of data that specifically says a 295/35/18 RE is faster than a 315/30/18 Yok, both on 18x12 wheels. And the RE lasts a metric shit ton longer and is way more resistant to overheating.

My 19" wheels are 11.5" in back and 11" in front. Not sure how the rears would handle a 285 tire. The specs say to mount it on a 9.5-11" wheel.
Understood, but they will work on a 19x11.5, especially given that the 295/35/18 is known to work well on an 18x12.
