I'll be the nice guy.

Yes. They will fit just fine. I have 245/40/18's and they fit just fine.

Don't know about the Yokohamas - but a quick search should yield some results. Try Tirerack.com for tire reviews from customers.

dema, I grew up in Sept. Iles on Rue Johan-beetz.
We moved to Ontario in the'70s.

You may want to use tiretrends.com if you buy on line ('cause they're Canadian so you don't pay border taxes)

They are way cheaper in the States...even with taxes/duties and exchange.

If you live close to the border...it's even cheaper

My Falkens Azenis were $349 CDN unshipped at Tiretrends and $210 US at Discount Tire

Thats almost $100 CDN cheaper per tire.......

The closest border to Sept-Iles is Labrador!
Is there any duty on tires or do you just pay tax?

..No duty if they were manufactured in the US or Mexico. Taxes still apply....
