For those that have checked, there are not many options in the factory size of 235/45/19... I hadn't made my mind up on run-flats or not, but I think I wanted to switch over to Continentals (they have no run-flats in that size.) Two I was considering in this size are ContiProContact or ProContact GX

Has anyone changed to 245/40/19? The options are so much greater.
I really wanted ExtremeContact™ DWS06 in the OEM size, but it is offered at this alternate size that still fits our 19x8 rims. Probably will have my speedometer off about 1 mph or so.
Also really considering ControlContact ™Sport SRS, SureContact™ RX or ControlContact Sport™ A/S (discount tire only)


Has anyone gone from 235/45s to 245/40s?


Thanks

255/40/19 is even better
ET 35 should be fine, you can find out that,

Rim 9 J x 19

255's do not fit on the OEM 19x8 rims.

255/40/19 is even better

have you guys notice some differences in the Odometer indicator m/h ? what about handle ? I'm on 235/50/18 and want to upgrade to 234/45 19 or 240/40/19......I thought was possible even the 255....but it is not the case to do it

Ignoring brand differences, a 235/50/18 and 235/45/19 have the nearly the exact same diameter (27.3") so the speedometer would reflect the same speed and odometer would reflect the same mileage.

Going to a 240/40/19 would have a diameter of 26.6" (-2.6%) and your speedometer/odometer would read slightly fast (and odometer would accumulate slightly more miles than you actually traveled). When your speedometer indicated 70mph you'd actually be traveling 68.2 mph.

What tire size should I use for a wheel that is 19x8.5?

Can you post a picture of your car with these? Looking to get the same size. Thanks

I am so sorry I just now saw this request. Let me know if you haven't already pulled the trigger.

No worries, I went with 245/40r19. I think I'll be going with 245/45r19 next time.
