Comparison
265/35 R19 vs 275/40 R19
On the same 19-inch wheel, 275/40 R19 grows the section width by 10 mm versus 265/35 R19. This swap noticeably changes overall diameter compared to OEM.
The dashboard speed will be significantly off — plan on recalibration before daily use. The taller sidewall adds cushioning over potholes and rougher roads, with a softer overall ride. More tread on the ground tends to improve dry grip and stance, with a small fuel-economy and clearance tradeoff. A diameter change beyond 5% is aggressive enough to influence ABS, traction control and gearing; treat it as a serious modification.
TakeTreat as a serious modification — verify clearance, recalibrate the speedometer and reassess load capacity.
Quick math: 275/40 R19 is 34.5 mm taller than 265/35 R19, shifting the speedometer by +5.16%.

Over 5% diameter difference — likely to affect speedometer accuracy, ABS calibration and gearing. Not recommended without professional review.
Speedometer impact
At a true 100 km/h, your dashboard will read 105.2 km/h after switching to 275/40 R19 — a +5.16% 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 +17.3 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.
