Hi all !

 

Just got my new rims at the weekend some 19 stern st 1

8.5 on the front and 9.5 rear and wondered if anbody could tell me which tyre profile would look and be the best set up for my car on stock j spec suspension .

 

would this be ok?

 

235/35/19 front

 

265/30/19 rear

 

or would this be better

 

235/35/19 front

 

265/35/19 rear

 

any help appreciated! cheers:d

I think the main reason is it keeps the rolling radius the same for front and rear which is important on a car with ABS.

 

Of course I might have taken my red pills today instead of my blue ones!

 

Cheers will go for 35 front and 30 rear then!;)

35/30 would be the conventional way to go. but if you run a 35 on the rear you will be able to get a bit more grip

 

you would think most people would go for 35 front and rear then if you get more grip

Really not sure what would be best to go for now as i know most people run 35 front and 30 rear:search:

The aim is to keep the rolling radius as close to stock as possible.

 

You will normally have a higher aspect ration (the middle number) on the front tyres as they are narrower than the rears.

 

Tyre Width x Aspect Ratio = Side Wall Dimension

Front 235mm x 35% = 82.25mm

Rear 265mm x 30% = 79.5mm

 

If you were to fit 265/35/19 on the rears the rear side wall will be bigger than the front, also the rolling radius will be greater.

 

Rear 265mm x 35% = 92.75mm
