OK, then your reputable tire guy is a bit off to say the least since you will not have any issues with the car's speed sensors or else just because you choose 1 size more from stock size. Going from 265 to 275 your tire diameter will increase from 26.3 inches to 26.6, a 0.3 inch increase (taller tire) which corresponds a bit over 1 %, that's it. Your stock tire makes 790 revs per mile while a 275/35 will make 783. These are not big enough deltas to give your car's electronics any issues and you won't be able to notice the speedometer difference which already reads around 3 to 5 % over actual speed anyway, like most cars. So with 275/35 you will see 160 km/h while you will be doing 155 and with stock tires you would read 158 or 159 and not 160! There are no other "problems"
you could have with just 1 size larger rear tire.
Lots of guys here are with 275 to even 315 rears on stock wheels with 0 issues.
So, if you want them ignore that guy and just buy the PSS. Otherwise, just try the track tires since you don't care the downsides of those in Dubai conditions.
