That said, the 285/35/19 are 0.8" smaller diameter than the 275/40/19, and therefore your fender/wheel gap will get larger due to the smaller tire, and your speed will be off if the stock height is closer to the 275/40/19. Additionally, for a given width, a smaller diameter tire has a smaller traction patch, so the actual gains of going to the 285 would be somewhat offset by the 35 profile compared to the 275/40.
I would like 285s but don't want the smaller dia. tire, I wish they made a 285/38/19 - I'd buy that.  |
I am definitely ordering the 275/40/19 's and they are VERY close o the stock diameter....
