tyre size for 19" V spokes QP2009

[Yarlsberg]

Picked up a set of OEM 19" V spokes to go on my 2009 4.7S

Meridien told me the tyre sizes are 245 45 19 front and 285 35 19 rear but most others places I've checked suggest 245 40 19 on the front.

Can anyone confirm please as its not specified in the manual

Thanks

Pretty sure it's 40 for 19 and 35 for 20

And there's a sticker on the driver's door frame...

Fair point, sorry about that. My exhausted brain was working on the basis that the QPV and GT are basically the same car, and therefore probably have the same wheels / tyres. Of course, this morning, I realise I'm probably talking ****.

Of course, you may well still have the sticker

They are 245/40-19 VR Front, 285/35-19 VR Rear for original fitment. That's what I still run on my QP5.

You could fit 45 Front / 40 Rear if you want a softer ride or greater protection from potholes, as I understand it. I'm pretty sure some people on here or on the US forum have done that.

And I do Drew, makes loads of difference, changed the ride quality for the better, mine are also 20" fills the arches nicely and I'm on 295 on the back no clearance issues either.

thanks guys- I am going from the 20" down to 19" to get a better ride quality so this should really help.

In changing to 45 frnt and 40 rear, assume you haven't experienced any problems with the traction control?

Non what's so ever, if anything it seems to have more traction, and they look better in the arches, so stick with your 20's
