Often, yes. This width is commonly used on the rear axle as part of a staggered setup to support traction and stability, but you should confirm the exact front and rear sizes shown on your vehicle placard or handbook before ordering.
Pick the same load index and speed rating as the original equipment specification, as this size is frequently used on heavier, high-powered vehicles. If multiple options appear, choose the version that meets or exceeds the required load and speed, and avoid selecting a lower rating than your vehicle requires.
Many vehicles that use this size specify XL (Extra Load) due to higher axle weights and performance demands. Check your current tyre sidewall and the vehicle placard - if XL or a higher load index is specified, stick with that requirement when buying replacements.
It depends on the vehicle and how it is equipped. If your car is designed for run-flat tyres (often paired with a tyre pressure monitoring system and no spare), switching may affect ride and handling, so it is best to match the type already fitted unless your manufacturer allows the change.
Summer tyres are common for performance-focused driving, while all-season can be a practical choice for mixed UK conditions. Winter options exist but can be more limited in this width, so if you need winter capability, check availability early and match tyres across the axle for consistent grip and braking.
