Default 225 '40' 19 Fits better....

It irritates me that my summer tires are 225-35-19 now! (I knew I should have ignored tirerack's suggested size....

I Fit my 225 40 19 snow tires on my LOWERED X-Type, and they fit so much more clean, and I can worry less about potholes.

Yes but your speedo will be slightly off now... Not too big of a difference but still off

I prefer the look of 225/35/19 over 40s. If you were any lower, you'd hit front fender liners with the steering wheel at 90 degrees.

You have the same grill as me, Mina…
You posted your Jag on Cardomain a while ago, right?

Back on topic…
I took the rims off tho…I'm in the midwest, so I put the 18" stock Jaguar rims back on it because of the snow…might get some other rims for next season.

i have a winter beater so i dont need to change my rims
but when i had my 19s with 35s boy after a while i was replacing suspension parts
and bent rims
some members may be lucky and have no problem,
but when i went to 40s no more problems
35 look better not by much for me
so i opted for reliabilty
