Tyre size on front

Hi I have a 08 sport, tyres on it are 275,40,20. Would it make much of a difference if one of the fronts were changed to 275,45,20??? So basically on the front they would be different as one 40 and one 45. Before you ask I've got a tyre in the garage that's a 45 and saves me buying another. Thanks

Personally i would not do it coupled to the fact that its not really legal to do that. Tyres should be in matching sizes on the same axle unless of course its a space saver that is speed limited.

If the worst came to the worst and you had a serious collision and the car was taken away for an exam, the report would highlight this etc etc.

Ideal choice if you intend to race round an oval track, but for road use dangerous, illegal and Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

i would be more concerned about the fact you are only replacing one Shocked
How can you only replace one, unless you have a unfixable puncture Question 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))
