I don’t think I would change it now but you might have been happier with matching PS4S 305/30/20s on the rear.
Recommended PSI? Mine usually sit at about 36-38 when warm.

I would try the Michelins on the new 9" wheels before I would spend more money on new Continentals. I'm running PS4S tires on my Camaro and have been very happy with them.

You should measure tire pressure on cold tires with a quality tire pressure gauge (TPMS isn't the most accurate). The factory spec is printed on a sticker in the driver's door frame. I would start there and see how it feels.

Yeah my tpms wasn’t switched over to new wheels, so I’m using old school gauges to check tire and inflate. Door says 35. Tpms still in the Michelin’s up front that were out back, but not in the new conti 305s out back. I keep gauges with me, and inflation on travel. I will see how the 265/35/20 PS4S feels on the 9” rim before I buy another tire. Just saw a few others who appeared to believe I may still not feel 100% on just a 9” with the PS4S. We will see how it all turns out. I’ll keep y’all posted when the wheels finally come in.
