More meat up front = more turn in grip. Pure and simple.

Wrong again. 19x9.5 et33 with 245/35/19 rubs, I'm running this setup and it didn't rub when I had 235/35/19 on.

I just like cars that have a lot of grip up front. Definitely not a muscle car. Performance cars have big tires. Look at the Z/28 or GT350.

Do the math. 245/35/19 is a bigger diameter than 255/30/19 (correct tire size) which is why it rubs a bit. I've been running 255/35/18 square for 3 years now while being pretty slammed and have never rubbed.

Yes the bolded is correct, but a 30 series tire is basically a rubber band and the ride would be harsh.
OP is running 19" and a 255/35/19 would definitely rub

Incorrect sir , a 30 series Tire does not make the ride harsh whatso ever and these roads in Houston are No good . Im running a 30 on my rear and it looks fantastic and rides even better than those CEMENT Hard ass runflats i had on before .

30 series what? 275, 265???
I run a 275/30/19 on the rear.........
I'm not talking about rear tires here, I'm talking about fronts.

But be my guest and run a 255/30/19 on the front and a see how you go.
