Default MY04 RE050 - Query

Over the last few days/weeks I have been trying to get some replacement tyres for my car.

I have posted on the UK forum and you might find more detail there.... https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=230831

I need some new rears and have these on the back now KO301 E0-50MZ 245/40/R17 91W. On the front I have TO301 E0-50MZ 215/45/R17 87W.

The only problem is that in the UK everyone else seems to have:
Front Left = T0250
Front Right = T0301

Rear Left = K0301
Rear Right = K0250

Now Honda UK have asked to see my car to work out why I don't have the 250 type tyres on one side. But what do these numbers mean ?????

Any ideas gratefully received !

The other tire is a Mercedes Benz OE tire. They are different but I am not sure exactly how they are different. You should have matching tires though.

So which one is which ?
I have spoken to Bridgestone today. The guy was a bit puzzled but then told me it was the E050MZ bit which was important and the T/K 250/301 wasn't important and was used on internally to Bridgestone ????

Some UK owners have different mixes and I believe the same is true in the US ?

Honda UK didn't have a clue ......
