Awkward tyre sizes...

The M2 needs new rear tyres (standard problem).
The fronts are 245/35/19 and are about £225 each.
The rears are 265/35/18 and are about £315 each!
That's an expensive 20mm!

Your rear wheels are an inch smaller diameter than the fronts?

What width are the wheel rims?
A 275/35/19 MPS4S is £244 from Camskill......
I run 285/30/20 on the rear of the Evora rather than OEM 275/30/20 as that's what the 4xx versions came on.... (9.5" wide rim)
edit: looks like I'm not the first person to think of this

Not in the same price bracket but the Swift Sport tyres are an odd size, 195/45/17. Seems like a few people go for 205/40 or 205/45 instead, either cheaper or just for more choice.

Sorry typo - obviously both are 19s
Found a 10% off deal at black circles which helped...

Costco are usually cheapest for tyres IME and they almost always have £100 off for a set. Less chance of a twat scuffing the wheel to bits too.
