I am wondering the same thing.

235/35 19's are .08% difference in diameter compared to the 275/30 19's. So they are almost exact.
Now the 245/35 19's are 1.01% Bigger than the 275/30 19's. So by my way of thinking wouldn't the 235's be a lot better choice. Both the 235 and the 245 are rated to fit a 8.5 inch wide rim with no problems. I know when I look at tire packages they recommend the 245 with the 275. That is what I do not understand. The only thing I can think of is all though the 235 fits it rolls in to much? The 245 is just the standard reccomended size. Not sure.
