❓ R19 TYRE FAQS
R19 indicates the tyre fits a 19-inch diameter rim. The "R" stands for radial construction. For example, 235/35R19 means 235mm width, 35% aspect ratio, radial construction, for a 19-inch wheel.
225/35R19 is the most searched R19 size (~72 searches) — popular on European performance cars. 235/35R19 and 245/35R19 also lead for sports applications. For SUV touring, 225/55R19 and 255/55R19 are most common factory fitments.
35-series tyres have very short sidewalls (~80-90mm) making them more vulnerable to pothole and kerb damage. They're best suited for well-maintained urban roads and spirited driving. If you frequently encounter rough roads, consider 40 or 45 series for better protection while maintaining sporty handling.
The profile is sidewall height as a percentage of width. On a 235mm tyre: 35-series = 82mm sidewall (very sporty, firm ride), 40-series = 94mm (sporty but more compliant), 45-series = 106mm (balanced comfort and handling). Lower profiles give sharper handling but less cushioning over bumps.
Yes! We stock Anchee EPFOUNDER CE101 in 245/45R19 102Y with EV-specific construction. This size is popular on Tesla Model 3 Performance, Polestar 2, and other performance EVs requiring low rolling resistance and reinforced sidewalls for battery weight.
R19 sits between the more versatile R18 (common on everyday vehicles) and the statement R20 (large SUVs and performance cars). Manufacturers typically use R19 on vehicles where handling is prioritised — sports cars, performance sedans, and premium SUVs where buyers expect sharper dynamics.
