Replacement Tire size


VMH

Recommended Posts

I have a 2017 Dodge Journey Crossroads Plus.  Factory tires are 225 55 R19.

 

Can I replace them with 235 55 R19?  Will the change impact performance or gas mileage or safety. 

 

Thanks.

that is the size i have used the last 2 times, better selection of tires as well makes you run about 1 mph faster than your speedo will say, no other problems. 255 50 19 can be used as well but more expensive,,,use a tire size calculator to check what size you want to run just google that discount tire is a great place to buy from and if they dont have no stores in your state wait for a holiday to buy as the run great rebate sales then and have always rec the rebates no problem and most of the time you dont pay no sales tax thur the internet if your state doesn't make them charge it, then just take your tires to where ever you want to have them mounted

I have bought all brands of tires in my lifetime and they all vary,as mentioned it depends for what you are looking for high mileage tires or a competition style I usually go for the ones that give me 65-70 k tire warranty using the UTQG rating is what I go by the higher the # there longer they should last 650-800     

What Is UTQG

UTQG is the abbreviation for the Uniform Tire Quality Grading system created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It measures treadwear, traction, and temperature resistance of a tire in a controlled environment.

The UTQG rating can be found on the sidewall of most passenger vehicle tires. This test system is designed to give consumers an “apples-to-apples” measurement to compare tires when shopping.
