245/275 or 255/275 combo?
After I used the wheel/tire size calculator, I figured that 255/35-19 has a better match to our stock 18" tires than 245/35. But I heard that Nissan recommend to use 245/275 combo, is it? So my question is, why 255 sounds like better match, but most ppl including nissan pick 245? Any disadvantage to use 255?

Well, throw your calculator away. Always looks as the specs for the particular tire you are looking to buy. Manufacturers will have variances in the specs of different tires of the same size. In general, these are usually extremely minor. If you check the tire specs a 245/35-19 matches the height of the stock front tires(Pilot Sport to Pilot Sport). 275/35-19 matched the height of the stock rear tires. A 255/35 would jack up the front end about .3". You you really want to raise up the front of the car? This could also effect the VDC.
