Quick question on Alt Tire size for 19in snowtires.
With stock suspension, what is the largest diameter of wheel that will fit?
Stock 26.7-26.8'' (with 245 50 17, 245 45 18 or 245 40 19) - I know that 255 40 19 fit at 27.1. Looking for alternative snow tire size for a friend with 12 TL SHAWD Adv, he asked about using 235 45 19 which is 27.4. I mean it doesnt look like 3/10th of inch would cause a problem, however I am not sure. So anyone know the absolute size that will fit?
Ya I know weird question. Yes, aware of the speedo error. I also asked tire rack, too. Just in case noone knew the answer here.

as far as width (235 or 215, etc) Generally, narrower tires are better in snow and on ice because they are more stable and get better linear traction by penetrating the snow. This is not always true though; on hard-pack snow, wider tires with more sipes are better.
225-45-19 has a few winter tires available (6), 235-40-19 has a few more (about 11). Get the tire that's going to perform better in either size!
