hey guys, i know that there are a bunch of threads on this because i have a touring model and therefore i have vdc on my vehicle. this makes picking a tire so hard and confusing. but i was looking to get 19x9.5 and 19.10.5 work meister and i found a good deal on them. the tires on them are 245-40-19 and 275-35-19. will this upset my vdc? thanks guys. and what is an ideal tire setup for this set of wheels.

i'm probably gonna get flamed for another thread on vdc and tires but i would really appreciate the help. thanks again.

You could have problems with this wheel/tire setup because your front tires are taller than your rear tires (your front tire height is 26.71” and your rear tire height is 26.57"). Taller tires on the front than the rear can cause problems with VDC-equipped cars.

With this said and even though your tire sizes violate this “VDC principle,” I think you might be OK with these sizes. The reason is that your rears are sized correctly (shorter than OEM sized-rears is always a problem with VDC when the fronts are too tall.)

I would try the sizes you have. They might work; and if they don’t it will be obvious. You will see the SLIP light when VDC inappropriately engages. If you do encounter this problem, you only need to swap out the fronts for 245/35-19 tires.
