Default Risky tire size for C5 4.2? .

There are a few guys with size 245/35/20, If I recall one even dropped. So would 245/40/19 work? if I can find a relative light 19" wheel with that tire size it should be pretty civilized over bumps etc. The RS6 has optional 255/35/19 but 35 series is a little thin.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Default 40-size sidewall will throw your speedometer and ratio off -> slower car

When your speedometer reads 93 km/h, you will actually be going 100 km/h.

It also throws the ratio off, and will be slower in acceleration.

The ideal size is actually 255/30-R19.
