If you went 265/35 R19, the diameter increase is only 1.2% and the speed different at 60 MPH is like less than 1 MPH.

I run a front tire size of 255/40r18 on my TEs. In hindsight, I would go 265/40 on my next set of tires. I like the 40 series sidewall because it accounts for the diameter decrease when going from 19s to 18s. I could be wrong but I believe most of the track guys don't run 40 series tires because typically that results in excessive sidewall deflection

If you disable TC then you don't need to worry about tire diameter unless your concerned with speedometer accuracy.
I'm always TC off but only because it allows me to defeat the rev match. |

Swapped out 19 inch TE's with a 30 wall tire for a 18 inch TE's with a 40 wall tire. Stock height. Like the 18s with a big sidewall better
