Which Cars Use 235/35 R19?

The 19-inch performance size on fast hatchbacks and compact executives: Golf R and GTI Clubsport, Audi S3 and RS3, Mercedes A45 and CLA 45, Ford Focus RS and ST on 19s, SEAT Leon Cupra, Skoda Octavia vRS on 19-inch options, and a number of 1 Series, A-Class and A3 models on the largest optional wheels.

Treat this list as a guide, not a guarantee: manufacturers fit different sizes to different trims and wheel options, so check the label inside the driver's door or read the sidewall.

What 235/35 R19 Means

The sidewall reads 235/35 R19: a 235 mm tread, a sidewall 35 per cent as tall as it is wide (about 82 mm), radial construction and a 19-inch rim. Overall the tyre is roughly 647 mm in diameter, and the car was calibrated for that figure. Next to the size sit the load index and speed rating, covered below, and beyond them the date code that tells you how old the tyre is.

Load and Speed Ratings on 235/35 R19

On this size you will typically see 91Y XL. The number is the load index (how much weight each tyre may carry) and the letter is the speed rating. Your car's requirement is on the door-jamb label or in the handbook; you may go higher on either but never lower. Where the label asks for the higher load index, that means an XL (reinforced) tyre, and fitting the standard version is a genuine safety error on a loaded car.

Good to know

Are 235/35 R19 tyres worth buying premium? On a car with this much performance, yes: the difference in wet braking between a premium and a budget tyre in this size is measured in car lengths. If the budget is tight, a strong mid-range option beats a cheap one every time.

What to Watch For on This Size

A 35-profile sidewall is about 82 mm tall, and on Norfolk's roads that is barely enough: this is the size we see most often with cracked rims and sidewall bulges after a pothole. Pressures must be kept at the XL figure, and a proper four-wheel alignment after any impact is not optional. The speed rating is Y throughout. If the car is used all year, several premium brands now make all-season versions in this size, which are worth considering.

Brands Available in 235/35 R19

A premium size: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, Continental SportContact 7, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, Pirelli P Zero, Bridgestone Potenza Sport, with Falken Azenis FK520, Hankook Ventus S1 evo, Yokohama Advan and Nexen N'Fera Sport as the value alternatives that still take the car seriously.

Ask for a brand by name or ask us to choose; either way you see the EU label before you commit. The brand directory explains each name, and checked part worns are a fourth option in a common size like this one.
