Winter Tyres - Problems finding the sizes

Been trying to find a matched set for my 335D LCI

225/40/18 and 255/35/18

spent all afternoon on the internet and ringing around tyre suppliers

Mytyres list the Handkook i cept evo2 on their site but when you read the reviews they are terrible and delivery could be long or not at all

Nokian Weathproof seem to be available online from what looks like a French site, (Pneus Online), anyone bought from this site?

other manufacturers seem to list one size but not the other

I rang Micheldever Tyres, (now ProTyre), here near Winchester, the place were I have always got my tyres from and they only have Falken HS01 in both sizes.

Even looked at AllSeason as it's the improved wet weather performance that I am after - but Bridgestone Weather Control A005 seem to be the only one available in both sizes

Any ideas guys? - can I fit another size to the rear wheels, (i.e. to replace 255/35/18), ? -or any recommends for tyre suppliers in Hampshire?

Try alltyres365.co.uk
I've bought from them twice and they've been great on price and deliver quickly.

The Nokians get good reviews. My brother in law rates them, he is Norwegian and lives in Norway where they actually have snow and ice.

Thanks Guys

Just ordered from Pneus Online - they promised 3 to 5 days delivery - so I'll see how it goes
