Comparison

245/35 R19 vs 275/35 R19

Stepping from 245/35 R19 to 275/35 R19 keeps the 19-inch wheel but widens the section by 30 mm. This setup swings rolling diameter far enough to feel on the road.

The speedometer error is noticeable and may warrant a recalibration if you rely on indicated speed. More tread on the ground tends to improve dry grip and stance, with a small fuel-economy and clearance tradeoff. Diameter delta falls in the cautious 3–5% range, where speedometer recalibration and a careful clearance check are worth doing.

TakeReasonable performance-leaning swap as long as fender and suspension clearance check out.

Quick math: 275/35 R19 is 21.0 mm taller than 245/35 R19, shifting the speedometer by +3.21%.
