Comparison
245/35 R19 vs 255/35 R19
On the same 19-inch wheel, 255/35 R19 grows the section width by 10 mm versus 245/35 R19. This sizing approach keeps overall diameter very close to stock. More tread on the ground tends to improve dry grip and stance, with a small fuel-economy and clearance tradeoff.
Speedometer drift stays small enough that most drivers won't notice it day to day. Diameter change stays inside the conservative ±3% safety window — an OEM-safe fitment on most vehicles.
TakeReasonable performance-leaning swap as long as fender and suspension clearance check out.
Quick math: 255/35 R19 is 7.0 mm taller than 245/35 R19, shifting the speedometer by +1.07%.

Speedometer impact
At a true 100 km/h, your dashboard will read 101.1 km/h after switching to 255/35 R19 — a +1.07% 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 +3.5 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.
