Hello and welcome aboard.

Tire size is not your issue. Tire compound, suspension, and driving habits are your culprits.

Are you running the all-season tires that came on the car?

Yessir I am running stock pirellis all season.

Check into some Nitto 555Rs or something along those lines. They will cost more, wear faster, suck in bad weather, but be sticky as hell on sunny and dry days.

The stock tires are terrible. I also have a 2011. I just changed the front to 255 and the rear to 305. You will need new rims or course but the traction is worth it. No rubbing issues with that size assuming you are not lowered

My 2012 is lowered 1.5 in the back and 1 in the front and I have 255/35/20 on front and 275/35/20 on back with American racing wheels with Firestone Fire Hawks and it rides good and hooks great

Federal SS595 or Hankook Ventus V12 are good options and not terribly expensive.I also have the Firestone Firehawks on a set of wheels for my Subaru and they are good too.

I have 20 inch wheels on my 2012 with 275 35 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires and it really hooks up like I never imagined. Great tires and cheap. Hope this helps.
