I need to know this aswell...so come on guys, does somebody know?

Stock size is:

255/40-19 - Tire diameter is 686.6 mm
285/35-19 - Tire diameter is 682.1 mm

Difference is -4.5 mm, -0.7%


Michelin Pilot Super Sport:

265/35-19 - Tire diameter is 668.1 mm
295/30-19 - Tire diameter is 659.6 mm

Difference is -8.5 mm, -1.3 %

Max is 3.0 %

Will this effect the speedometer? If so...how?

Here also ! Please let a tyre specialist tell us all about it please :dunno:

I found a calculation tool but I am unsure what the outcome means (usable tyre or not ? the difference of the rear wheel would be 3.3%

Here is the link and see image below for the calculation made Tire size calculator

That would be awesome...more accurat speedometer won´t hurt at all, very nice to have.

Thanks for your input Ranger! I actually have a Tire Comparer app on my phone that helps me with this one, so the numbers on my earlier post seem to be just fine, the app works as it should :)

It blows that they haven´t done´them in stock size, but going with 265 front/295 rear will give the car even more grip.
