With regard to using 255/35-19 and 275/35-19 tires as OE on the M2C or M2CS, I'm betting that the primary reason those aren't used is the legal requirement in the EU for tire chain clearance. There's no way the 255/35-19 up front is going to pass that requirement. Hence, we're looking at the maximum legal size tires they could use on this chassis (unless they changed to a shorter diameter setup like 265/30-19 and 285/30-19 or even 275/30-19 and 295/30-19 - which introduces a whole set of additional compromises and issues).
