Currently I've got 225/50's all around on my 560. According to a tire calculator, that gives a -2.49% difference to my diameter over stock. If I were to put 235/55's on the back, which give a +2.69% difference over stock, would that average it out to a 0.1% difference? Is that how it works or am I not understanding something?

Thank you,
I saw on another thread that you mentioned you had 16x8" wheels on your vehicle. I wouldn't recommend mixing sizes in the manner you are concidering. Doing so might make the car handle differently than it does now. A better choice would be to change(when your current tires need replacing) the tire size to a P245/50R16 on all four corners. This tire is just a hair taller than the oe P205/65R15 tires. This tire size would give you a better ride and insure that the speedometer is reading mph correctly.
