Mgrene Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) 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" Edited June 15, 2014 by Mgrene (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 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.

Dnk Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_size_calculators.html 315 35 19 will put your speedo out by 7 mph over stock size. 70 mph will now be 77.4 mph What width are your wheels ?
