245/35 vs 235/35

I picked up some new tires over the weekend and I was going to go with what I've been running, a 235/35/19. My tire guy was out but he did have two 245/35/19's that he made me a killer deal on.

I have to tell you guys, they don't look as good as the 235's, but I am amazed at how a little more rubber makes the ride that much better. The roads here are garbage and having that extra meat is has really been noticeable. I usually drive the same roads so I am able to feel a difference. I would imagine a lot less strain on the suspension. So if you've been thinking about new tires and the roads you drive on are beat, try to squeeze in a step up, you wont be disappointed.

wait until you get 255/35. Not only they help the ride smoother, they also help will cornering too.

I thought stock tires are 245? I had a set of 235/35 and I keep using them until I got all 4 of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport with 245/35 just 2 weeks ago. I am so amazed too for the ride quality that improved quite a lot, dont know if it is about the tire size or that the tire actually more comfortable than the Yokohama AD08.

If running 255, any chance of scratching the fender? I am on BBS LM 8.5J with 32 offset for the front.

Thats exactly what I'm running! Except I'm on 275/35's in the back. Yeah ride quality is as close to stock as I've ever felt. I'm sure you can fit a 255 if you're not lowered. I'm dropped a bit and I can barely squeeze the 245's with out scraping...

Sorry for wrong input, I got 245/35 and 275/30 as well, and I am lowered, so 255 is not gonna fit then, thanks.
