Rear should be fine; front is a minor question mark. 275/30/19 seems safer but a 275/35/19 might work too.
Hoping it does work! The OEM tires are excellent, and I'd like to move the rear up front. It'd save me like $1200.

The stock tires are decent, but they're not incredibly sticky. If you do any sort of drag or heavy highway driving they have trouble putting the power to the ground. They spin quite a bit.

I wager that has less to do with the compound, and more to do with their relative skinniness for a higher-performance RWD vehicle. I have another RWD touring car pushing 500 wheel, and the biggest difference I made in traction was in moving from 275 at the rear to 305. I went from breaking traction to hooking and booking with the larger contact patch, and the tires aren't as good as the Supersports.

Granted the Supersport tires are for touring, not launching from a dig or AutoX, but they're good tires and will do just fine up front. Out back I'll probably end up with Conti extreme contact or Federal.

Not sure why you would run a 275/35/19 and a 305/30/19. Your front tire will be over 1" taller overall than the rear.
No. The difference is only 9.5mm diameter, 4.75mm ride height.

ah... dyslexia must be kicking in. I was thinking about doing the same swap, it was the circumference that was 1"+

SSR SP1 with TPMS actually mounted normally instead of strapped to the barrel. They machined the hole to accept the bigger valve. Thanks to Joshua @Meraki Autoworks forgetting this package together.
