Comparison
245/40 R19 vs 275/40 R19
Stepping from 245/40 R19 to 275/40 R19 keeps the 19-inch wheel but widens the section by 30 mm. This swap swings rolling diameter far enough to feel on the road. More tread on the ground tends to improve dry grip and stance, with a small fuel-economy and clearance tradeoff.
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.
TakeUseful when extra dry grip and stance matter more than a small fuel-economy hit.
Quick math: 275/40 R19 is 24.0 mm taller than 245/40 R19, shifting the speedometer by +3.54%.

Speedometer impact
At a true 100 km/h, your dashboard will read 103.5 km/h after switching to 275/40 R19 — a +3.54% 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 +12.0 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.
