Wanted...some rubber for Jonny Essex's alloys
- Thread starter Mark83
- Start date
You need a lower profile tyre on the rear ie 265/30/19 to keep the rolling radius between front and rear closer.

Maybe Mr Wilks has some lying around
Hhhmm , try to avoid 19,s / i do have a pair of Dunlop,s but 255 40 19 profile which is more big Audi / Jag so out of luck with me i,m afraid :|
Could have had them for £50 incl delivery

Jonny, i've told you a million times, et is the offset of the alloy, which has nothing to do with the tyre.
The 35/30 figures are the sidewall profile of the tyre I.e 30 profile is 30% of the tyres width of 265mm.

225 is (marginally) closer to the rolling spec for a non M on 19's... But the main thing is rubbing.
Its more likely with 235 fronts you will experience rubbing... Especially on fast uneven roads. I had 235/35/19 fronts and maybe once in while noticed some rubbing (before i lowered the car - never after lowering strangely!). Switched to 225 and havent experienced it since.
Additionally 225 will prob be cheaper.... Which is a bonus!

Check out lovetyres.com
Got mine from there, great price, best i found on the web.
Don't buy "fitted" though, as there is a big mark-up. Get your local garage to fit them for you for less.
