Default winter setup

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase my winter setup. Would 235/45/19 for the tire size be ok? I have the 20" sport package currently with 255/35/20. The overall diameter would increase by .3" from 27.0 to 27.3 which is about a 1% difference.

Rule of thumb is to drop down 1 size so you will be just FINE!

I wouldn't necessarily limit minus sizing winter tires to just 1 size lower.

I'm really happy with my setup, went from 255/40-19's to 225/55-17's running Blizzak WS-70's...I'm within the 2% tolerance that most installars recommned.
