275/40/19 or 285/35/19 on SVE350 19x10 (F)

[Myshelby3425]

Searching for another size front tire size in MPSS since I’m not liking the rubber band look with the 275/35/19 front I just recently installed. The car isn’t lowered yet but I’m going with the BMR minimal drop springs. I want the tire with a little more meat to match the 305/35/19 rear. Front are 19x10

Tire diameters:
275/35 26.6
285/35 26.7
275/40 27.7
305/35 27.4

This is how current setup looks. I had just installed them for test fitment in these pics.

285/35

The 285 MPSS only has a .1 taller diameter. 26.6 vs 26.7

275/40 is 27.7 and the rear 305/35 is 27.4

285/35R19 are 26.9" FYI. It'll look perfect once you're lowered.

I was going by the Michelin website specs. So the 285/35 with the drop?

I think they have a typo. Pretty much everything else (including their PS4S) is 26.9" for 285/35R19. It'll be perfect with your drop.

I'd go 285/35 front with a 305/35 rear.

I had to go 275/35 front due to tire availability at the time. No regrets since I'm dropped and my fender gaps are perfect, but I would have preferred the 285/35.

Figured out why its different than the others.. The only 285/35/19 PSS Michelin makes is a freaken RFT. I think I have no choice but to go with the 275/40

They should have a non run flat in that size, if not just go with the mps4s

Why does it have to be a PSS? IMO go with the 285/35 PS4S, Conti ECS, or Firehawk 500

Conti EC Sport is a far better value than Michelin PS4s.


Michelin does offer a PS4 in 285/35-19, as does Conti. I have the Conti.

Agreed. If you want to stay Michelin, get the PS4S.

Do your Continental 285/35R19s run small? I just ordered a set of 285/35R19 DWS06s to have a set of rotatable all-seasons and they measure out at only 26" unmounted. I just don't see them growing almost 1" when mounted and inflated.

This is how 285/35 on 19" rims look on a car with Steeda Ultralites (~1.25" drop front and 1" drop rear).

I already purchased all 4 MPSS tires. I just need to change out the front. Going to take a big hit switching all 4. MP4S doesn’t come in a 305/35/19 rear either
