Replacement of Stock Tires Fitment Advice
Hey all,
I need some more input as 1010 tires are telling me its a no go. I have a spare set of Falken Ziex' in mint condition that I would like to use for replacing my Pirelli run flats when the time comes. Here are the numbers: Stock Front: 225/35/R19 Rear: 245/30/R19 Spare Falkens Front: 225/40/R19 Rear: 255/35/R19 I'm showing a 5% variance for the rears and a 3.5% variance for the fronts. They also indicate risk of brake failure if I do this?... |

for awd i would say don't even do 1.5%...
The DSC uses the speed of both front and rear tires to calculate what to do so if you change the diameters than you will alter how the system behaves with most likely unintended consequences.... The car might think you are sliding and keep brakes on all the time on your rear if it sees too much variance in speed |
