2006 SL65 ///AMG - GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: 2005 E55; 2002 ML55; 2001 CLK55; 1992 BMW 850i; 1991 M5
245/40/19 Front 275/35/19 Rear

Will this slightly taller diameter front and rear throw anything off?

Factory spec for 06 SL65 is 255/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. That provides 26" diameter front and 25.8" diameter rear.

The slightly taller tires would be 26.7" front and rear. So the front to back balance is dead on, but .7" more height. Well within rim width.

Sound O.K.?

Yes, you'll be fine.

Same diameter as many use on 20": 245/35-20 & 275/30-20.

Great! Just ordered a set of Conti Extreme Contact DWS in those sizes after reading your post. Thank you.
