255/35R19

Dr. G · 12-14-2010, 01:38 PM

I found a good deal on a set of DUNLOP Wintersport 3d's in ...

255/35R19 all 4 tires

Now if I were to pick this up and mount them on a set of 8 or 8.5 inch wide wheels it would still cost me less then my 17 inch setup with the same tires off tirerack.

Now my question is, would having such wide tires on a set of 19's put me at a significant/noticable loss in terms of traction for a winter setup?

255/35 is actually a tall tire. Running this in the front and rear will definitely cause some rubbing issues as well as most likely traction problems up front on the vehicle.

I would recommend going for a 225/235 tire setup all around or a staggered 255/30 in the rear for the proper fitment.

Yeah, I thought it might be an issue, I was just getting an UNREAL deal on a set in that size so I thought I might jump on it.

Hey sorry man its too late now they already sold for around $300 haha, it was a killer deal, but I wasn't sure about getting 19's for winter.
