Default Which tyre for 245 / 40 R19?
I'm owning a 2015 F-type with 19 inch wheels.
Tyre sizes are:
245 / 40 R19 94 ZR(Y)
275 / 35 R19 96 ZR(Y)

I was planning to go for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, however after some research they are not available in 245/40R19 in Europe (Belgium).

Anyone with the same issue and which tyre you took?

You can safely move up in size to a 255/40-19 to switch to a 4S.

What would be the best?
255/40-19 or 235/40/19

Would you feel a difference in driving?

The rear tires have a 96.25mm sidewall compared with 102mm for the 255 and 94mm for the 235, so the 235 is a closer match. I doubt that you would feel any difference

I went for the 235/40, all fine, and doesn't look any different to me.
