265 35 19 tires on stock 19" rays

gstraw

Hey
I'm looking to get some winter tyres now while it's off season and I noticed that 265/35/19 tyres are much cheaper. Has anyone fitted these tyres? It will drop the diameter by 7mm over the stock 275/35/19 and create a lot more stretch but narrower tyres are better in snow anyways. Has anyone had any issues with this size?

Also I'm thinking I should maybe get 235/40/19 tyres instead of the 245/40/19 because the narrower tyre is 8mm less on diameter. If I'm dropping the rear diameter should I also drop the front too so that the car doesn't think the rears are spinning faster than the fronts and think that I'm skidding? Front tyres are same price for 235 or 245.

Thanks
