Does anyone know the math on this? Is it as simple as adding the two numbers, which would mean +0.3mph total?

You have to remember that is a reference. Not all tires are made the same. The diameter on 255/40/19 by Bridgestone might be different than 255/40/19 by Hankook.

Dont worry too much about it, as long as you are within 4% of stock, you will be okay

Hmm okay. I guess I'll get the V12's in 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 then.

Think this will work well with 15mm F / 20mm R spacers? Was thinking about getting spacers at the same time.
