What 245/35/17 Alternatives is there?

[b4bmm]

I need a new set of tyres and I can't seem to find any 245/35/17 tyres for sale.
So first off does anybody know where I can buy these?

I have 8 inch front and 9 inch rear tyres.
8 inch will require minimum of 215 and rear minimum of 235.

I should be able to get the front 215/40/17 tyres without an issue, its the rears that's the issue.
From a rolling radius point of view 215/40/17 are 603.8mm which lines up very well with original 15 inch wheels at 606.5mm or original 16 inch wheels at 608.9mm.
The 215/40/17 is within 1% tolerance of both the original options.

The 245/35/17 are 603.8mm which again slots in perfectly compared to the originals.

The closest other size I can see is 235/40/17 which has a diameter of 619.8mm. This is circa 2% difference to the others.
From what I gather it also gives higher ground clearance compared to standard of approx 6.5mm compared to -2 with the 245/35/17

Any suggestions as the best thing to do if the current tyres cannot be sourced which they seem to be NLA.
Right now all roads lead to choosing 235/40/17 for rears and keeping the fronts the same

I've steered clear of the 245/35 because it's a very uncommon size ($$$) at least here in the US. 235/40/17 is what you want. Keep in mind that the actual tire dimensions varies depending on the manufacturer. There are "smaller" 235/40's and there are "larger" 235/40's. You will have to do some research to determine who makes what.

Id don't see any manufacturers that produce 215/40/17 and 235/40/17 of the same tyre?

Currently in process of fitting 215 40 17 and 235 40 17 on rs 212/197 RS. Still trying to decide which tyre I go for. Currently have 4 brand new 215 40 17 Michelin ps4 on the shelf. I would have preferred hankook ventus v12 or similar for the rears and fronts but becoming hard to find. More research time..
