think this tire choice is ok. need confirmation.

my 335 is arrives in 2 weeks and i plan on putting on all seasons rather than keeping the oem summer performance runflats. wheels are 19" 313 style and come wrapped in 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. was thinking of keeping the same size or going to 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. my problem is that i can't get the tires i want in 235 or 255, so i'm left with the compromise of 225/35/19 and 265/30/19. i think this should be fine. am i wrong? are there any problems with running this setup? thanks for your advice.

You'll be fine with the 225/265 setup. I run 235/275 and don't have any problems, no significant handling changes.

Was thinking the same too but I wonder how much more the 265's will stick out versus the 255's. Any pics available on oem wheels?
