front = 245/45/R19
width = 245 millimeters = 9.64566929 inches
size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) = 45% 9.64 inches = 4.33 inches

rear = 275/40/19
width = 275 millimeters = 10.8267717 inches
size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) = 40% 10.8267717 inches = 4.33 inches


Those sidewalls are gonna be too big i think.

I had the General Exclaim UHP tires from TireRack on my 530 and they were GREAT! I went with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Total cost, including shipping was $550 for all 4 tires and I had them within 2 days, shipped Ground to NY! Get them! You won't be sorry.

The parent company of General tires is Continental.

I had General Exclaim UHPs when I had my 166s. Best bang for your buck!
