The 245/35R19 is a common tire size for performance and sports cars such as BMW 3 Series, Volkswagen GTI, and Audi A4.
With a 85.8 mm sidewall (35% aspect ratio), this low-profile tire delivers sharp steering response and precise cornering grip, though the ride feels firmer over rough surfaces.
Compared to the baseline 245/40R19, this tire's overall diameter differs by -3.6% — a speedometer calibrated for 245/40R19 would read 103.7 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the BMW M3 (F80) front (staggered with 265/35R19 rear), Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (W212) front and Audi RS5 (B8) rear. Load index 89Y or 93Y reinforced. 85.75 mm sidewall — pure performance fitment with no daily-comfort pretense.
Low-profile sizes in this group prioritize steering response and lateral grip over sidewall protection from pothole impacts. Curb-rash on the rim and pinched sidewalls are the dominant failure modes; insurance-claim data shows these sizes register two to three times more wheel damage than 50+ aspect ratios. Plan for a spare set of rims if the route includes broken urban pavement.
