| Tyre size help for new 19in wheels
hey fellow pointedthree members.
I need some advice on tyre sizes for my new 19 inch wheels (which MIGHT be coming one day from DCR Wheels).
At the moment i have the standard 17 inch wheels on my SLK, 17x7.5 at the front and 18x8.5 on the back with 245/40 on the back and 225/45's on the front.
So.. my question is.. when i get my 19inch wheels which will be 19x8 on the front and 19x9 on the back, what tyres would I need to get?
thankx guys and gals.  |

235/35 for the front and 255/30 or 265/30 will fit for the rear, 255/30's are hard to find. Michelins PS2's are great performance tires, Nitto and Toyo's are also tires you should consider and alot less expensive. |

I thought so too, not only that but the possibility of ruining the wheels but it's not that bad, a little nosier than before but that's b/c I have Nitto's NT555, the roads in Australia might be different, it's works fine for me here. |

Hi Da_nailgun,
I have 235/35 front and 255/30 on the rear of my slk55. I was worried about the ride also, yet I find it quite ok, however I never drove my car with the standard wheels, I had my 19's fitted prior to pick-up.
I drove my car from the Gold Coast to Sydney when I picked it up, and last weekend I went out to Dubbo, and I have not found it too hard.
I have Pirelli PZero Nero's on mine.
Hope this help... 
Anthony. |

thankx anthony,
That makes me feel happier just to hear that.
I have Pirelli PZero Nero's on my car at the moment (with the standard 17in wheels), so i guess i should stick with those when i get 19's (even tho they'll be about 600 $AUS each).
Thankx Again.
