Just looking for new tyres the only option on Asda/Black Circles etc for the rear are 255 / 40 / 18 / Y095.

I quite fancy trying some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 XL, the only sizes available are:-

245/35/18
245/40/18
265/35/18
245/45/18

Which is the closest?

Will anything be affected (traction, speedo etc)?

Thanks

Use this; specs need to be within 2.5% +/- and all will be ok with diff and speedo etc

Are your alloys a straight set or staggered (wider tyres on the rears etc)?

Camskill and Tyreleader generally have about the best selection and best prices, but you need to get them fitted locally for £beertokens

Hi

Have gone with 245/40 R18 97Y as these show a 1.3% diff in speedo etc.

Thanks
