Re: Winter tyres - good time to buy!

My local Kwik Fit can supply Marangoni winter tyres in 225 40 18 as opposed to the standard 235 40 18, presumably this means the tyres are 1.0 cm narrower which wouldn't be an issue? Would the rolling circumference be the same? also they are 92 V rated as opposed to 95V- is this an issue?
Cheers

Thank...
