Default Alternate Tire Sizes

I am puzzled by the two stock tire/wheel options offered for the S6: 265/35 R19 (tire has a 26.3" diameter) or 255/40 R18 (tire has a 26.0" diameter).

Why would Audi offer two options that do not have exactly the same diameter (they could have offered a 235/45/18)? Isn't that an issue for the speedometer etc.?

Thanks.
