New tyre spec. - Any considerations to take?

Evening Forum.

 

The time has now come for me to get new rear tyres.

 

Today I am driving with the following spec.:

 

Continental 315/25 19"

 

But in order to gain some more comfort, I think I will choose 315/35 19" instead.

 

Do I need to consider anything now that the dimension of the tyre will change?

 

Bonus question: In Denmark, these tyres are rather expensive. Are you able to suggest an English hompage which is very competitive on price? The price in Denmark is around 250-300,- GBP/per tyre.

 

EDIT: Just discovered there is no such thing as 315/35 19" 😕

You'll change the rolling radius and so your speedo and trip meter will not read correctly.

Consider the suspension movement maximums before fitting a 10% taller tyre. ie check that it won't rub the arch the moment the suspension is compressed.
