A 295 on a 10 instead of a 275 should provide better traction. The squishier sidewall helps traction in a straight line. Stiff hard rubber band like tires hamper traction in a straight line. You can always try them. It’s not like rear tires last very long, assuming you drive the car. Go down in size next change if you don’t like them.
You could also try a stickier 275. If you drive only in warm weather, maybe an RA1. If you drive only in warm, dry weather, maybe an R888. Not sure if these come in 19s but they may be alternative sticky tire choices or street tires that are higher performance than what you have now.
