Fitted - 275/45/20s

So I decided to go 45 series tyres and ditch the Continentals I had. I purchased Hankook Ventus ST RH06 XL 275/45 R20 109V from here http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/hank...09v-176972 at a snip over £100 each inc delivery from Germany.

Very impressed and far more comfort from the extra side wall. Steering appears more positive and lighter and road noise significantly reduced. Speedo reads 2mph slower than indicated speed on the Cruise Control so I can live with that (will check with TomTom later)

Insurance company were happy with change from OEM as long as tyre was legal.

I think they look more like an offroad tyre and certainly improve the ride.

They look great and wish I had known about these before renewing recently. I certainly like the idea of a larger sidewall as the 275x40x20s look far too small for the wheel arch /vehicle.

Hi Micalee.

Did you manage to test with your TomTom to see how your indicated speed compared to real speed?

Hi micalee,

I'm thinking of doing the same sometime this year.
A couple of questions if you don't mind.

Do you find the ride any less harsh?

Any tyre pressure variation from standard 275/40x20?

Thanks. Thumbs Up 2016 L494 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Carpathian Grey

So I managed to remember tonight and this is the result:

SatNav - 40MPH Speedo - 39MPH
SatNav - 50MPH Speedo - 50MPH
SatNav - 60MPH Speedo - 60MPH
SatNav - 70MPH Speedo - 70MPH

Now this surprised me as I thought the variance would continue the higher the speed - it did before but no appears stable! Anyway, thats the results and I tested them on the way to work and also back.

The ride is so much softer than my 40 series Continentals and so much happier. They look better in the arches in my opinion and ref the tyre pressures, exactly the same as before - wish I had done it a long time before!
