Currently on 225/35/19 and the profile are like rubber bands
Can I change to 235/35/19? This would give a bit more profile , but will the width be okay on 8” wheels?

Thanks. Scrap that idea

Changing alloys isn’t an option at the moment

How about 225/40/19

Changing the profile from 35 to 40?

Current ones are run flats

I can’t change the wheels from a budget POV

That’s the plan but still rubber bands

Well more time limited
Failed mot with cracked rims but I have spares from warranty. I’ll rather put non run flats on these than swap them over

Found a member who changed from 225/35/19 to 225/40/19

The extra side profile would absorb a lot more and no adverse affect to touching of trim at full lock

Although the speed when doing actually 72.46mph will read 70mph. So in the 30, 40,50,70 zones if doing the speedo speed will be going slightly slower and will help on speed traps lol
