Incorrect. The TL would need 35 series tires when going 19's
To maintain stock wheel diameter, the TL needs:
235/45/17
235/40/18
235/35/19
Adding 10mm to 245's will generally be none issue. And if going wider/narrower by 30mm, subtract/add 5% on the sidewall
Personally I run 245/40/18 instead of 235/40/18 because 245 is a more common size and a little bit more accurate in terms of real speed. Speedometers usually read 1-2mph slower from factory for liability reasons. I often check when I pass by automatic radar gun signs on streets. with 245/40/18 I'm always dead on. When I had stock 235/45/17 I was always about 1-2mph slower/

its not necessary, but it maintains correct overall diameter to keep the speedometer as accurate as possible. maybe to some ppl its not a big deal but I like having as many things in oem-spec as i can
