2021-10-17 - I have been Winter driving on Michelin Pilot Alpin 4 for a number of years and with living and working in the countryside they are good. However a new car has meant a move from 18" to 19" rims. The 19" rim has tire size of 225/35R19 fitted. There are not many UHP Winter tires in this size, particularly the Continental Winter Contact TS870P. The closest that is offered for this tire is a 235/35R19. This means that they are 10mm wider and possibly 3mm taller. What are the issues with fitting this slightly larger tire?
While the TS870P is an excellent winter tire choice, I sadly can't advise on whether it is safe to change tire sizes away from non-OE specification, sorry. If you check the owners manual there might be an alternative size or a smaller wheel option for winter tires.
