Thank you! And good question - I went with 285/40/19. I had to double check because I realized that was not a factory size but according to my math:


285/40/19 = Diameter of 27.98



And my original tire was



245/40/20 = Diameter of 27.72"



285/35/19 = Diameter of 26.85"





So basically I tired to get as close as possible to OEM and I thought maybe the added cushion would offset any roughness added by the lowering springs.



I still want to double check a few things but when I buy some nice tires I'll probably go with 275/40/R19.
