These are the only ones I can find on Costco and they are £30 a tyre dearer. Plus I'd have a 60 mile round trip to Southampton to have them fitted.

Have you got a link for the ones you found at £125? Can't be my size for that price I need 285x30x19 98Y
Sorry AMGeed
I’m on a similar pricing expedition for my 19’s...
I’ve gone back to the website and see that locally (Lakeside) the 285x35x19 are £139
Can’t seem to post a link
I notice that prices seem to vary by locations, though you would expect online pricing to be consistent....
Is 30 vs 35 hugely significant?

On such wide tyres the difference in mm's of tyre height, (that's the measurement from basically the tread to the rim edge - "Sidewall") is about 15mm. I would call that significant. ("35" =100mm. "30" = 85mm).

NB. The Aspect Ratio, the middle number, is a percentage of the tyre width.
