Changing Tire Size on my 2007 GL450

Has anyone changed the tire size from the 275 55 19's to a thinner tire like 255 60 19's? I'm thinking of doing this becuase they are cheaper. Thoughts?

Thanks...

Smallest tire approved for GL is 265/60-18.

Better check at least to see if you can still get the 110 load rating on your proposed tire.

Might also verify that the tire you propose is suitable for the width of your wheels (rims). I'd be surprised if it is, i.e. your wheels will be too wide for that tire.

This stuff is all engineered as a "package" or "system."
