Hi Rob
Do you think the larger tire size might impact on the speedo accuracy? and also the riding height??

what you think?

The speedo is optimistic as standard, taller tyres will bring it to a more accurate reading unless you go crazy.
I was running 255/35/19 which is a taller tyre than a 265/30 & it drove fine.

I mean, which combination is better for a more comfortable ride?

The taller sidewall will give a more cushioned ride (255/35) but will have a little more movement in it, it’s all a compromise.
