Tire Question
Hey all,
I am about due for some new tires this fall. The OEM tires on the back aren't providing the best grip in the rain and losing traction on dry pavement when I punch it a little bit. I have the OEM 19inch 704M wheels on my car: F: 225/40/19 R: 255/35/19 Is it possible to increase the size of the tires without any issues? I am not lowered at all. I was thinking either a 235/40 or a 245/40 front and a 265/35 or 275/35 in the rear. I am thinking about getting Conti DWS06 Plus since I need all seasons. I don't want the side wall to look funny for it being too tall or too little. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

If you're rwd, the 245/275 is beefy, adds some great grip with the right compound and looks awesome, however, I do not think the 275's will fit a 8.5 inch rim. I know it's been done before but I don't think many shops will let you. At that rate the 235/265 combo always does well for people and is usually significantly cheaper as the former has quite a premium Secondly, I have the dws 06 non plus, and they've been amazing. Coming from the pirelli cinturato p7 17's, it made my car feel much more alive. The electric steering is still a bummer but I much more satisfied with feel and responsiveness Additionally, I still have my old set, and am actually going to be switching back for the winter even though they're both a/s tires, simply for longevity reasons. I have them, might as well use them lol

Don't take my word for it, but I know that people put the F8X 437M wheels on F30s which I believe are 245s and 275s in the rear and I haven't heard of issues with that setup so you might be good
