What sort?

Goodyear F1 Assymetric 2's in 245/40R19. Can't remember the load/speed rating - possibly 98Y but it's more than what's min. spec.

I'm dropping a profile size this time. Previously was running 245/45R19 but decided to see how these go as they are a common "Commodore" size.

Speedo will read slightly slower than the 245/45's now due to a smaller sidewall.
Just so you are aware.

Still for the price those 245/40's were a steal!

Yes I'm aware that the speedo will be slower with the 245/40's. The 245/45's are slightly too big and so actual speed was slightly faster than stock standard. I'm hoping that my speedo will read correctly now with slightly smaller tyres on.

The "correct" size is 255/40R19 but that assumes you're running the 19x9 Savannahs. As my rims are only 19x8 I wouldn't put the 255's on which leaves me with option of either 245/45 or 245/40. So now I will have tried both

I'll be interested to see if it has any noticeable effect on the 0-100 time....

And couldn't go past them for the price either!
