Need help figuring out Aspect Ratio

Hello All,
Does anyone know if a 255/35/19 tire will work on the fronts of the black series? Can anyone tell me what the stock 265/30/19 aspect ratio would be compared to a 255/35/19 or 255/30/19? Your help and expertise is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Eitan

Try this site if you want to compare tire sizes and see if there are any obvious clearance issues:

Thank you for all the responses. After doing some research, i found out that neither set up will work for the front as the 255/35 is too tall, and the 255/30 is too short comapred to the stock 265/30. I believe that i have finally found a set of tires that are made in the correct sizes and are not Crappy like the Yokohama Advans, Hankook Ventus, and the continental DWS, and are not ridiculously expensive like the Pirelli Corsas. I should have my new tires very soon. I will let you all know how they are.

Thanks again,

Eitan

Regular Michelin Pilot Sports (non cups) and regular Pirelli PZeros (non Corsa) are available if you go to a 265/35/19 in the front. That's what I have on my BS.

Thank you for the information. the 265/35/10 are taller than the stock fronts. I am not sure if this is going to create any problems with the TC and cause the car to shoot a fualt. Have you experienced any issues of this kind in the time youve used the 265/25 in the front?

No faults. Park Place MB replaced the tires prior to my purchase with the Pirellis. The the front side walls do not appear taller than the rears. Mind you, there are owners who have gone way out from normal spec w/o issue.
