Discount Tires and NTB. I was trying to get Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 all around.

255/40/19 OD = 27.1
275/35/19 OD = 26.6

So thats about half an inch. I don't know where they got 1.2 from.

I suppose I could go 255/40/19 27.1 and 285/35/19 26.9
I'm not sure how 285/35/19 would fit though.

285/35/19 is too wide for a 9" wheel (the recommended rim width range is 9.5" to 11"). Use the 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 combo.
