Went this route to save money. I felt a bit worried about having a different size in the back than what stock was at first but I've noticed the ride is bit smoother. Bumps in the road is not as harsh. So far the car is fine. Only been two days tho. Anyone have experience with this? Will this damage anything in any way?

2013 I tan into something similar. my Michelin PSS rear were dead about 3-4 weeks prior to me putting my car away for winter. i'm not one to drive an unsafe car so I found a local friend with Pirelli 275/40/19 tires. I ran those for the remaining few weeks just as emergency/back up tires and had no issues. no VDC/ABS lights etc..
I don't believe the diameter difference was off enough to set off any lights nor do any damage. I still got another set of the 275/40/19s as back ups again. guy sold me 4 brand new top notch summer Pirellis for $100.
