225 front and 235 rear, that OK?

Got 225/35/19 alround at the moment, and wanted to put 235's on rear, this OK. Or will I have a problem with the traction control

Cheers

speedinsaxo has this setup iirc; not causing him problems so should be fine

You certainly can't do it the other way round. If you have different size tryes, the wider ones have to be on the back.

How come??

 

[speedinsaxo]

Yea, I didn't notice any difference really. Unless you are getting a deal on the 235 tyres I would not bother.
I will probably go back to 225 when I change.

How come??

Construction and use offences. it is part of mot also, thats why they check tyre sizes. Having wider on the front is deemed in law to make the vehicle more prone to loss of conrol.

i guess because you would have alot more grip in the front, and therfore prone to over steer?
Which is less controlable for your average motorist.
God knows really.
