I have the OEM 19in, 275-55-19 Conti's....can I put a 255-55-19in tire, with the same load index of 111? Will this hurt performance in anyway?

Thanks.

you will be stretching the tires i believe.

unless you are getting the 255's free or dirt cheap, no real reason to go smaller in tire width.

no stretch.. the 275s bulge a bit so 255 are good.

actually in europe most folks will do 255 winter tires anyway if they use the same wheel.

narrower tire- better control and traction in inclement weather.
