I am not sure what you mean.

Are you referring to traction/grip? Speedometer accuracy? Cornering?

Your proposed tire is going to be 25.9" diameter, what size are you running currently?

The back tires will have a smaller height. I think it would look odd having a smaller tire wall height on the back than on the front. 265x.40 = 106 mm on the front. 285x.35 = 99.75 mm. 295x.35 = 103.25 which is a lot closer to your front tires.
