Comparison
225/45 R19 vs 245/35 R19
Going from 225/45 R19 to 245/35 R19 keeps the rim but tightens the sidewall for a sportier look. This setup noticeably changes overall diameter compared to OEM. Less sidewall flex usually translates to crisper turn-in and a slightly stiffer ride over rough pavement.
Indicated speed will drift far enough that recalibration is worth considering. Diameter delta falls in the cautious 3–5% range, where speedometer recalibration and a careful clearance check are worth doing.
TakeSuits drivers who value sharper steering and appearance over outright ride softness.
Quick math: 245/35 R19 is 31.0 mm shorter than 225/45 R19, shifting the speedometer by -4.52%.

Speedometer impact
At a true 100 km/h, your dashboard will read 95.5 km/h after switching to 245/35 R19 — a -4.52% offset. Use the speedometer error calculator to recheck for other indicated speeds, and the speedometer error guide for the full background.
Ground clearance change
The new tire's half-diameter changes ride height by -15.5 mm. Small differences are absorbed by suspension travel, but anything beyond ±10 mm can affect headlight aim, fender clearance and bump-stop margin. See the plus-sizing guide before committing.
