mk6 Gti ed35 19" tyre sizes

[anonymous-user]

Hi,

I have a 2013 mk6 golf gti edition 35 on oem optional extra 19" wheels.

Front tyres will need replacing soon,
The size on at the moment is 235/35/19

Question is can i run 225/35/19 or a different size without rubbing the tyres or it affecting speedo etc.

I'm good with alot of things but tyre sizes really confuse me, the size difference has been considered because i can much better quality tyres for nearly the same price if i input 225/35/19 instead of 235/35/19

All inputs welcome,

Cheers

I can't imagine it would cause any rubbing issues but the speedo will not be correct. https://tiresize.com/comparison/

You're going down width so it won't rub... how would that work logically??

Only thing is that the overall profile of the wheel in the arch will look weird if you reduce the width as you're effectively having smaller sidewalls.
Unless you have lowered the car I would stick with the appropriate sized tyres or downgrade to the 18 inch alloys.

I don't know, like i said I'm a fool when it comes to tyre sizes,

What about if i went 255 35 19?

No way!!

Stick to the correct tyre sizes IMO.

Will just purchase normal sizes to save hastle.

Many thanks for all responses

I found that on my rs3 I once owned the rears which were 225x35x19 were more expensive than the front which were 235x35x19, I've just fitted 2 Goodyear asym 3's to my a45 Amg and they feel much much better handling wise than the oem continental 5p's.
