Every set of rears ive changed have had 2mm on inside and 4-5mm on the outside. This is the worst they have ever got. I check my tyres near enough daily chap. Used my car twice over the winter, didnt need changing untill I was using it regularly again.

I cant use Contis in an upsize fitment at the profile I need to stop the speedo reading miles out unfortunately. 265/35's are 3mph out at 60mph apparently. Can speedos be recalibrated? |

interesting as I'd have said the opposite. I found contis dreadful in the damp greasy conditions. Dunlop Sport Maxx for me!

I ain't overly keen on the wet weather performance with the Conti's. In the DRY there awesome.
Sportmaxx I don't rate as highly as the Conti's.

Interestingly, Alpina run a 35 section front and rear on their 19's. |

Well that would only be for ride comfort then. As our cars run 35 on the front also. I doubt to make the speedo slightly more accurate!? What width are the alpina rears?

Would a 35 profile on the rear at 265 wide make it look like a space hopper tyre do you think? |

I've got 235/35 front and 265/30 profiles on mine. Looks fine.
