From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Mathematically 275/40R19 is the same rolling diameter as your OE tire size.

Best is subjective to use and why.

Dude, the correct order is coffee then post.

For a 275, he wants a 30 profile. For a 245, he wants 35. To stay with a 40 profile, he'd have to drop down to something like a 215.

I found through this site:

http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecal...?action=submit

the following measures:

245/35/19
255/35/19
265/35/19
275/30/19

wheels to buy later

I now have to choose which measure 19 "approved on the registration certificate
