Changing tyre sizes and DTC?

Had0uken! · 03-12-2017, 05:37 AM

Guys,

Tyres on the rear of the MV4's need changing, I have a pair of brand new pirellis laying around that I'm tempted to throw on - only thing is the profiles are slightly different - stock is 255/30/19 and these are 255/35/19. Will this cause any issues with DTC or drivability? Fronts will still be stock at 225/35/19 as they're only a few months old.

Thanks

I wouldn't do it. You'll have a little more than a 3% difference in diameter from the fronts and the backs. This will cause the stability control to interfere more than you would want.
