Default Anybody see a problem with running 225/35/19 on an 19 x 8.5 rim?

Tire calculators say the 225 fits an 8.5" rim and the 225/35/19 is actually the closest ratio to the overall stock tire.

I'm currently running 235/35's G-force TA's but they're worn out now and I need some new tires.

Also, has anybody ran or is there anybody currently running a set of " VREDESTEIN ULTRAC " tires? I came across them on the web and supposivly they're a very high performance tire overseas? They won best performance tire 4 years running?.... They even have them pictured on a TT racing haha.

Anybody have any info on those tires? Pros or Cons?

Thanks

Default I've been running 225/35/19's for a year with no major issues besides lack of rim protection.

My next set will either be 235 or 245.

Default I'm running that size in Pirelli P Zero Neros, no issues at all...

just be sure you're careful when parallel parking so you don't scratch your rims!
