I should clarify, I was referring to a 265/35/19 PS2 tire, that does rub. I have not tried with the same size for a PSS, but as you can see the diameters as given by TR are the same, so there is nothing to indicate moving from a PS2 to a PSS in that size (265/35/19 up front) will cure the rubbing. And it is not a matter of a fender roll (those are done courtesy of the factory, contrary to the 135i), it rubs top of the fender inner liner. So if a PS2 rubs, I think it is a safe bet the PSS will rub, as if anything, it is a lot more square tire than the PS2 (the edges don't seem to curve as much as on the PS2s, but rather more of a square setup like the Bridgestone RE-11s)
