I've 19 inch rims on my S8. I was running 255/40 but last week I fitted 255/35. I couldn't get the tyres I wanted in 40 series. The difference I've noted is the acceleration is better due to the smaller rolling radius. The top speed will be down but that's not an issue as I never see it. The speedo will be out, reading 70 but actual speed 67. The odometer will be out as well. This difference is not too much of an issue but I am trying to see if I can recalibrate the speedo using VCDS to take into account the new tyre size.
