245/35 R19 EU tyre label data

EU label values are declared for each individual size, so the figures here are exact for 245/35 R19 rather than a range across a model. 279 tyres carry label data in this size. The most common load index is 93 (up to 650 kg per tyre). Speed ratings on offer: (Y) (301 km/h), Y (300 km/h), W (270 km/h), V (240 km/h), H (210 km/h), T (190 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 74 tyres in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.

A Best wet grip

86 tyres in this size hold the top EU wet grip rating, class A. The highest scoring on Tyre Reviews:

A Lowest rolling resistance

The most fuel efficient choice: 2 tyres in this size reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring on Tyre Reviews:

67dB Quietest tyres

The quietest 245/35 R19 tyres are labelled at 67 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tyre. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.

How long do 245/35 R19 tyres last?

Across 28 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 11,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 6,500 miles and 20,000 miles.

Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 245/35 R19 Audi A4 S Line Avant 40 TFSI (204PS) 620 miles October 16, 2026

I only just got the car in mid-August, and it came fitted with a range of cheap Chinese tyres and one Hankook that were all quite worn. After a lot of pondering and review-reading I decided to go for the Eagle F1's, mostly thanks to the amazing 20% off offer that National Tyres had on them that almost saved me the cost of one tyre.

The car is absolutely transformed; it feels glued to the tarmac, even on twisty wet roads, and acceleration and braking both feel sharper. Road noise seems decent but I've not really had anything to compare it to, and I'm pleased to say that fuel economy actually seems to have improved. All in all, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed.

Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 245/35 R19 BMW 525i 7,500 miles October 16, 2026

It has already been one full summer season for these tires on my 2004 525i RWD with staggered setup of 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 rear on Style 172 wheels. So far travelled around 12’000km and I’m really happy with the tire. Around 70-80% of the mileage was done on highway speeds at 130-150kmh. The tires feel stable and grippy on both wet and dry conditions. What I really liked is that the sidewall is on the softer side (which could be a negative aspect for some), which gives lot more comfort for a low profile tire, as well as no tramlining which was an issue with the old tires (Marshal MU12, Falken Azenis FK510). They are also really quiet tires. The wear is really good, only 15g of balance needed in the front after 10k km, and no balance needed in the back. They wear even, no vibrations or other degradations developed over those 12k km. I was rather sceptical before buying them, but I am really happy I went with Sailun ZSR2. Amazing tire for the low price, will definintely buy again.

Michelin Alpin A4 245/35 R19 Ford Focus ST 20,000 miles September 24, 2026

Great. For a low profile tyre on a reasonably pokey car they did really well. Couldn’t really push them beyond limits in the dry, worked well in the wet and on small amounts of snow and ice were fantastic. Excellent driving past other sliding around on hills. I run winter tyres all year round, find they generally last longer than summer tyres (I know they shouldn’t but that’s my experience). I don’t see any real loss in dry grip and they are fantastic in ice and snow. I also drive in wet grass through the summer so find winter tyres really help compared to standard summers here. These Michelin’s were great.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 245/35 R19 Audi A4 Avant Quattro 204PS (S + BE) 24,000 miles September 15, 2026

I have been using these tyres for years on my cars, and now have had them on my latest A4 avant s-line quattro. They actually reach excellence in my opinion, and although a PS4S is probably better on a sports car application and in the dry grip (GY is better in the wet), there are no better all-rounders than these tyres. So quiet and comfy still after 24k miles, and they have a minimum of 3.5mm +. They also provide good rim protection and they do look nice too. If you grab these on their sales, they are an utter bargain, and you will not be disappointed. I prefer the slightly higher pressures (38R, 42F) and they have worn evenly. 4WD cars with summer tyres need these things.Mid next year the tyres will be 3 years old and ready to replace all 4 again, and these are on the books, probably from Camskill.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 245/35 R19 BMW 530i 20,000 miles August 30, 2026

My set is now 7 years old. I know I probably should have changed them, but they still have plenty of treads left after roughly 20k miles. Yes, I don't drive the car often. I have since added a set for the rear axle (275/30/19), and compared to the old pilot super sport, I can positively say that the PS4S is more comfortable. However, my car is lowered, and the rear tyres rub against the fender when I go over uneven road. Never had this issue with the PSS, so something to keep in mind for those with lowered cars. I dont need to talk about the performance. I think others have covered it, but that added comfort does come at a cost. The PSS felt a bit sharper, but that doesnt mean the PS4S is much worse. The PS4S is a lot more durable than the PSS. I had severe dry rots after 6 years with the PSS, which made me worry about tread separation. The PS4S still looks pristine after 7 years and 20k miles. The PS4S is definitely the best tyre I've ever had so far. Well worth the money.

Pirelli P Zero R 245/35 R19 BMW 200 miles August 7, 2026

First impressions, just a few km driving around town, some spirited driving and one autocross training in both dry and wet.

Holy moly, I do not understand how they have made this tyre. It sticks like glue in both dry and wet conditions. Comparable to AD09 in dry, but way better than PS4S in the wet. I have had all of these tyres on the same vehicle in various conditions, so the comparison is quite fair. Feedback is very good, and gives you great confidence. The only downside so far is the comfort, which is only OK, but definitely drivable everyday. Another thing to consider, tread life could be limited with heavy use. 4 autocross laps was enough to start melting the tyre a bit, in 18-19c air temp. Tyre temp reached about 50 degrees.

This is a sporty tyre that is a jack of all trades and master of most. If it is available in your size, fit it!
