Tire sizes will vary by manufacturer meaning, a continental tire in a 245 may be narrower than a BFG in the same size, or shorter, etc. This can also change by the models, too. Meaning a continental summer tire may run wider than advertised compared to their all season. A good way is to check the tire specs and compare them to other brands. I do know that federal tires and the BFG comp 2 run very wide.
This is going to be a tuff one considering the before stated. This will also depend on how you want the tire to be placed on the wheel or in relation to the fender. I.e. Stretched or flush or a bit of a bulge on the rim.
A 245/40, 255/35 and 265/35 are all approved for a 9.5 wheel but the tire may sit very differently on the wheel between the sizes.

255/35 or 265/35. I'll look at later tonight and see if I can't determine how the 970 will do in those sizes.

Get them and post pictures. Better post them in a journal or I'll be forced to ban you.
Where did you order them from?

I would think Summer tires could be used in SoCal winters but if you plan to head to snow country, summer tires are an absolute no go.
I use continental DWS all seasons and they do very well in regards to wet and dry. They are also very good in snow (when the tread depth is optimal). They have long life, comfort and very good dry traction for an all season. Steering response is good and feel is adequate, though not on par to summer tires, as to be expected.
I can't say too much more about others as I've not owned many cars, SUVs and trucks, mostly. I had a good experience with Michelin pilots on an Acura but can't remember the model.
I'm looking at nitto neo gens for my next tire as they seem to provide more grip but at a loss of tread wear. Want to extend my driving time on the new rims and then switch to a performance winter tire when the snow finally hits here in late December through February.
