Except with the cops. It looks really suss. I wouldn't think 5mm more on your sidewall is going to throw your Speedo out all that much. like if anything the wheels themselves will throw it out. But going from 40/19 to 35/19 ain't going to make much difference.

where did you get 5mm from mate? profile is a percentage. so an extra 5% of the tyre width.

A 235/40R19 tyre has a circumference of 2106.8mm

And A 235/35R19 has a circumference of 2032.9mm

so its only a 4% speedo error. thats 4kms out at 100km/h but my advice is fit the correct bloody tyres to your car.

Which I stated in post #12!!!

He's has the VE 235/40 and wants to buy 235/35 so they suit his VT and don't scrub.

Yeah because they did VY senators sigs run 235/35R19

Know one asked what size tyres VEs run so i dont know why you quoted my correct information with something know one asked for. It has been stated already as the OP already has them (VEs tyres)
