Can anyone provide some insight on what tires to go with?

I want a thicker side wall. I had 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 Super Sports and ended up blowing out each front (separate occasions but both at night - hate NJ roads). Being that I am AWD, i calculated that i can run a few different sizes but the question is will it rub - i am not currently lowered as i want to save getting springs until i figure out tires (i.e. if tires fill the gap on their own then i won't get springs)

Wheels are HRE FF04 20x9 ET25 front and 20x10 ET40 rear.

Can I run the following without rubbing?

255/40/20 (28" height)
295/35/20 (28.1" height)

I know brand and model tire matters as well and to be honest, i was not a fan of the super sports. Sport 4s is what i am looking at currently, but would like advice on other brands/models.

Main concerns are to avoid spinning on launch (in awd) and avoid spinning on 40/60 rolls (in RWD via xDelete) while also resisting potholes more than before (if possible).

Any and all suggestions appreciated!
