To resurrect this thread, I emailed Michelin, turns out the tyre in USA is not a Crossclimate and they have no plans to produce a 245/40 R17 Crossclimate for the UK. Closest Nokian do is 235/45 R17, not sure how suitable that size would be. ATM it seems options are limited - namely 225/45 R17 Crossclimates on the rears, sacrifising 2cm of rear tyre width putting the power on the road, or maybe 235/45 R17 Nokian or 245/45 R17 Crossclimates knowing the speedo will under-read by 1mph at 30 increasing to 2mph at 70.
