I think, although I may be wrong, that those are too big a rolling radius for an Omega mate.

I thought that it should be 235x35x19 to keep all running correctly. You may need to be careful on your speed as I think that this may make you go faster than your speedo is indicating, but I'm not sure by how much.

  It's recommended that you don't go +or- 2.5%, 235/40X19s are 2.6%, so over by 0.1% so should be fine

I just checked there and going by the fact that the standard tyre on an Elite is 235x45x17 then moving up to his size of 235x40x19 gives an increase of 4.35%.

I think that 1.85% over 2.5% maximum, which is 174% of the total tolerance, is a tad excessive. IMHO.

Is the startng point I am using of 23x45x17 incorrect? Is there another size which is the standard for Omegas that you are working from?

I'm asking out of genuine interest as I may need new tyres soon and if I can stretch to 235x40x19 I may do that too, but not by my current calculations.
