mrlux Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 others on the forum have said that the 235/55/19 works. I looked at my 2011 front wheel well and there isn't much room to go higher or wider. Very close clearance to the suspension. With the 235 you will be going 60.9 mph when your speedometer reads 60 mph. It is 2/10th of an inch taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlux Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks I was just reading that now.. Whats the difference between the 235/55/19 with 245/50/19 ? The 245/50/19 has a diameter of 28.6 inches vs. 29.2 inches on the 235/55/19. The sidewall on the 245 is 4.8 inches vs 5.1 inches on the 235. If you are going 60 mph with the 235 tire you will only be going 58.9mph with the 245. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskGuy Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks I was just reading that now.. Whats the difference between the 235/55/19 with 245/50/19 ? I think the 245 is 20 mm wider than the stock 225. That may be cause some rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMSBronco Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I just got Toyo 235/55/19 installed on my 2009. It's close but clears. The Toyos are also a quieter tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood011 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 We replaced ours with 235/50/R19. There is no problem with rubbing on this slightly wider tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I just got Toyo 235/55/19 installed on my 2009. It's close but clears. The Toyos are also a quieter tire. I know I was very surprised and satisfied when I installed 225/50/R16 Toyo Proxe 4's on my PT Cruiser. we replaced ours with 235/50/R19. There is no problem with rubbing on this slightly wider tire. Good to know,will keep this in mind when it comes time to replace my tires. Edited June 28, 2011 by Windancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
