255/35/19 rear for winter mode? Or different options. Help!

Can I set this size?

Perhaps there are other options? Maybe 245 around?

I’m running blizzaks in 255/35R19 square on 4 knock off front rims. So even the rims are square for easy rotation.

I'm running four 245/40R-18 MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN PA4 XLs on 18" wheels. Traction was awesome in the heavy snow last week.

Wish they made the Alpin wider than 245/40R18, so I decided to get 255/35-19 and 285/35-19 so at least in Dry winter i can WOT i hope lol.

I am interested in replacing tires in stock 19" wheels! What more sizes can still be used?

I can’t find a winter tire in my size 265/35/19 in Russia, so I ask about replacement options.

So, I am assuming there are no wheel sensor error codes from running these wheel combinations, or any other errors?

What I mean is... when we go from a 245/35&265/35 to a 255/35&275/35 or a 265/35&285/35, even though the diameters are greater than stock, they are still proportionate to stock.... Front and rear are of equal percent different.

But when you go with a square setup, or change the sizes out of proportion, then the front wheels are gonna rotate more than the rear wheels, or vice versa, as the car normally would expect.

So instead of a 2% diameter change both front and rear,,, you'd have like a 1% change in front and a 3% change in rear or something. You know what I mean?

I have no wheel sensor issues running a square 245/40/18 winter setup.

Shipping to Russia would kill him.

Running square setup with 18 inch wheels is a popular option. Acceptable sizes are 235/40/18, 245/40/18, plus some other options

For the stock wheels the 255/35/19 is gonna be a bit stretched but it will work and technically you can run it on all four wheels.

I'm running stock wheels with 265/35 blizzak LM60's without any problems.

I'm understood, thank you.

I tend to buy 255/35/19 on both axes. Or 245/35/19 at the front and 255/35/19 back.
