Is running a 295/35/19 tyre on the rear of a V12V possible?

Is this possible?

Interesting question... why would you want to move from a 295/30 to a 295/35 ?

Not sure the true consequences of this but I suspect with the larger rolling circumference - you'll loose some accuracy on mileage/speed? Might be a slightly softer ride at the back but you might also loose a tiny amount of lateral grip?

As for Traction control - just changing the tyre size alone (I am guessing) shouldn't trigger traction control - but the limits of when it triggers might vary a little...

I moved up one aspect ratio on my DBS and former DB7, but did so front and rear to avoid issues with traction control due to too much of a ratio mismatch between front/rear. It very may well have been fine going up at the rear only, but I did not want to chance it. On the DB7, it helped with the wildly optimistic speedo, haven't checked on the DBS, but I'm pretty sure it was not nearly as optimistic as the 7 in the first place.
