Your speedo will be more accurate with 265/35/19 285/35/19 than your stock tires.

Thank you much guys for the comments. Everything helps


I felt like my speedo was off a couple of times on the long drive home but didn't think it actually was. Do you run the above setup? I understand that being wider and .21" less side-wall would be rougher than my current setup if my replacement tires were the same brand. I would want a tire that would improve on road noise and possibly comfort despite the size change. Does comfort come from a softer side-wall? Does .21" less side-wall plus being softer spell disaster for my rims?


It looks good on tiresizecalculator.info but the site doesnt estimate speedo variaton with different sized fronts and rears. I assume subtract the difference between front and rear speed variation.

Does anyone experience dirt or rocks being throw down the side of the car with wider fronts?


Also in response to RE-11's..

They aren't totally out of my price range but tread life is high on my list of concerns. I im trying to get more life and performance than my stocks.

Tread life and performance first, then comfort and road noise are a close second but not if I'm gonna increase my risk of wheel damage noticeably.

Thanks again
Ben
