Spunkmeyer Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Looking for more rubber Currently I have 19"s 8.5j with 235/35/19 9.5j with 275/30/19 Wanting more sidewall to improve ride quality. Will be messing with coilovers setup etc but just wanted some info on tyres. Most options mess with the rolling circumference too much. I think I read 235/40 are 4% 225/40 are 2.9% but that too much of a stretch Anybody running different sizes to me on their 19s? Pics appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Your sizes match your rims. Do you really want to keep 19"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Your sizes match your rims. Do you really want to keep 19"? That's a different thread discussion but appreciate your point. I had TTEs 18 for winter and it was awful on these new coilovers. Changed to 19s for summer and was lot better randomly... Anyway I'm on 19s and the 18s are packed away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 With 19", you won't have much choice other than series 30 and 35 for the width you need. 225-40 on a 8.5 should be feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not much different I'm afraid, Fronts are 255/35/19 on a 9J rim 42, Rears are 285/35/19 on a 10j rim 45. Find them fine to be honest but then again I can't go far and I can't go fast, so I don't really have a rounded view of performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I've recently got 19/245/35 on an 8.5rim and 19/265/35 on a 9.5rim. Both on wheels that are et30... The the rears and fronts now catch my arch when over bumps, tight/fast corners!! My front also rub the plastic wheels arch trim on full lock! Pita. Looks better tho [emoji15] ride is slightly improved, but that's prob because I can't bloody corner fast anyway now ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ha ha, at the moment I have plenty clearance (rolled arches on the fronts) Might try 285/35s but could be an expensive mistake [emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
