255/35/19 rear, 235/35/19 front

How well would this work? I know they are a bit taller and my speedo will not be correct now, but will it make it more correct then it already isnt? Isnt it like 3% off, so since the new tires would be 3% taller would this now make it dead on?

The tires I am wanting to put on are Michelen Pilot Sport A/S +, the new UHP all season that they have. I want all season because in Colorado we can have crappy weather one day with great the next, like the last week. Snow, then 55 the next day, 60 the next, then snow, then 60 the next, etc etc. This wet snow wouldnt make a huge difference with snow tires or UHP I dont think either, and would let me run my UHP tires a little deeper and sooner into the season and allow me to get the snows off a little earlier and on a little later.

Thanks for the info.

If you are looking to stay with the 255 rear tire, I would suggest going with a 225/30/19 to stay within the same rolling diameter as the fronts. 35 series is a bit too tall and will throw off the speedo and odometer slightly.

What wheel specs will these tires be going on?

Style 230 rims. 19x8 front, 19x9 rear.

I was also thinking of going 225/40/19 front and 245/35/19 rear?

It sucks, its sooo hard to find tires for these damn 19's but I like the look. I NEED and HAVE TO HAVE all-season tires. Im not running my winter tires 7 months because it might snow, lol. Its my dd and I need to get to work, hence the need of all-season. Its these or 235/35 and 275/30 bridgestone re960's but now Im getting too wide and might rub.
