Thank you.

So I have got the wrong ones on? Should I be discussing this with the Honda garage who sold me the car?

if you've got 245/50 instead of 245/40 you might have rubbing issues, and your speedo might be incorrect (don't know if goes off the fronts or the rears.

I had similar experience:

I don't think the dealer did this on purpose, but until you go digging you don't find out this stuff.

My saga ended well, with the dealer going halves on a complete new set of four.

I feel the car peformed differently (better) with the correct spec tyres on it.
