Differences between

[Emwun Garand]

Besides the obvious sidewall difference, will one of these outperform the other?

I've got a set of 19x9" front wheels and the previous owner has a 245 on it and it's stretching a bit. Getting ready to order tires from you guys and was wondering what the diff is

Thank you for the post Emwun Garand.

The 275/30R-19 Invo is 25.59" tall and the 275/35R-19 Invo is 26.57" tall. Both will work on your application but the 275/30R-19 size is most ideal "diameter wise" when compared to your factory tirs size (25.7").

As far as performance goes, your typical driver won't be able to tell much of a difference between the two but technically speaking the 30 series will handle better (steering response) since it has a shorter sidewall. It should also be noted that the 275/30R-19 size is higher speed rated (Y - up to 186) where the 275/35R-19 is W speed rated (up to 168).
