Red face Is it o.k. to change aspect ratio?

Hi, my 2010 W204 C180 Kompressor came with a pair of CONTINENTAL ContiSportContact 3 225/40ZR18 92Y XL MO at front. had a puncture on the side wall of 1 tire (only 13,000 km done) and running with repaired tire at the moment. Local agent for Continental says they only have 225/45 R18. I know there is more than 3% difference between 225/40R18 and 225/45R18. What is you guys opinion regarding this? Should I take 225/45R18?

depends on the weather
The 225/45-18 will not work on your car as it is too tall.

We do not have your tire in stock either and it has been discontinued.

eBay?
