Dang, this guy REALLY gave you your money's worth in shipping.
I'm running these very same tires right now. I just threw on my other set of rims with these mounted recently.
Note, check for any sort of unusual wear on the inside edge. For some reason unknown to me, my right rear sp9000 285/30/19 wore a pencil width grove about 1/4" from the very inside edge of the tread. It went in pretty deep almost to the belt. It LOOKS like the tire rubbed on my coilover (Tein RE) but I couldn't see where and there was no unusual wear anywhere inside the wheel well. So I had the tires flipped (Left tire mounted right rim and vice versa) and there has been no unusual wear. I've even ran a different set of rear tires on different rims with nothing unusual. Maybe I got one goofy tire?

Eeeek!! glad that didnt turn out bad. Sounds like a goofy tire for sure. I 30 dollar shipping for 2 tires and getting them within a day, I am definetly pleased! I forgot how big these tires are by themselves LOL
Wow really> I sent him one email, and he responded back quickly. Paid with the credit card so I had some protection.
30 bucks, that's killer! I pay $40-$50 for two tires through most online sites!
Yeah, ain't it just cool how HUGE they look OFF THE CAR? lol
It will be taller and wider. Not much taller but about 20mm wider. If you can spare the room then yes, theyll fit.
As long as your rim width is 9.5-10 you should be ok. 9" is much too narrow.
I went from 265 to 285 on my 9.5 19" rim. Love it. Same tires.

I'd hope so, he's got a great transaction record. I got my tires on, and I LOVE THEM!
Dont need to have matching front tires.
I've got some sort of Yokohama in either 200 or 220 treadwear fronts. Fine match for me.

I'm glad this has been such a great deal for others.
I would send this guy an email and ask if he has or can get the size you need. Obviously, he has access to lots of tires at unbelievable prices. It's worth a try.
Already did that last week, here's the quotes...
Him:
"SORRY I DON'T HAVE THEM"
Me:
any close variations?
Him:
"RIGHT NOW I HAVE EVERYTHING ON EBAY."
obviously this doesn't work well... I think I'll deal with the different brands for front/rear
You'll be ok with front not matching rear. Just get something in the same category and similiar wear ratings etc.
Ended up getting 225 Eagle F1's for the front, they're fairly close. I figured unmatched tires wouldn't be a big deal since we run such a drastic size difference on our cars. Oddly enough the much smaller F1's were $75 more! It's a popular tire I guess...
Today I found Dunlop DID sell these in 225/35r18:
http://www.performanceplustire.com/...rID/17/productID/228/tireSize/225_SLASH_35-18
Is the sport 9000 discontinued
Yes, it is discontinued, tirerack has them all on "closeout' and 1010tires.com has them marked as discontinued.
Yes. They will fit no problems what so ever. That is what I run on my 19x9.5
cool TY
285 will be both wider AND taller.
The difference is something like this (using a Bridgestone RE050 as an example):
285/30/19 is 26.0" tall and 11.3" wide
275/30/19 is 25.5" tall and 10.7" wide
265/30/19 is 25.4" tall and 10.6" wide
The difference *could* affect your TCS, but it probably won't.
