So the OEM Santiago’s come with 225/35/19 tires on, which is not as common as 235/35/19.
Also the pricing on 225/35/19 Tires are generally more expensive.

Will a 235 tire work on the 7.5J wheel?

It will work but it’s not ideal.

I’ve been running 235 MPSSs on my Austins forever.

My new 8.5” wheels come in soon.

If your about to make the leap to a 8” or 8.5 go 235, that way you won’t have a stretched tire if you try a 225 on 8.5”.

Nope, they are wearing perfectly fine.
