Comparison
245/45 R19 vs 275/35 R19
Switching from 245/45 R19 to 275/35 R19 drops the aspect ratio by 10 points on the same 19-inch wheel. This swap noticeably changes overall diameter compared to OEM. Expect a more planted steering feel, at the cost of some of the cushioning a taller sidewall provides.
Indicated speed will drift far enough that recalibration is worth considering. The 3–5% diameter gap puts this in caution territory: doable on many cars, but verify clearance and consider recalibration.
TakeSuits drivers who value sharper steering and appearance over outright ride softness.
Quick math: 275/35 R19 is 28.0 mm shorter than 245/45 R19, shifting the speedometer by -3.98%.

At a true 100 km/h, your dashboard will read 96.0 km/h after switching to 275/35 R19 — a -3.98% 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 -14.0 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.
