Can I change tyre size?

[Rmo]

Hi

I have 19" rears with 265 30 19 tyres.
I've been wanting to change these to the UniRoyal Rainsport 3's now that it's getting a bit wet in the UK and after a few slippery situations with the current tyres.
My issue is that the UniRoyals don't come in 265 30 19 but do some in 265 35 19.

Does anyone run 19s with 265 35 19 tyres and were there any issues? Would there be any reason to worry about this change?

Thanks!

Thanks but I've tried one of these and even for my current size a Z4 doesn't come up.

Anyone with first hand experience of 265 35 19?

Mr Wilks is running 35 profile rear tyres on 19's, though I dont know whether they're 255 or 265 wide.

The 35 profile tyre is just 5% higher sidewall (13mm) than the 30 profile. I would think this would have little if any effect other than possibly a very slight improvement in ride quality.

If you are on 9j or 9.5j rims then a switch to 255 35 would see no harm & be a benefit imo

I'm running 255 35 19's on the rear with Mr Wilks recommendation and it's absolutely fine

Oh and they are rain sport 3 also
