I have 20" alloys and do not know what is the best performing tyre available.

Proper all weather / all season tyres are rare. Most 4x4/SUV tyres are marked as M&S but this doesn't mean they're all season, just that the grooves between the tread blocks are a bit bigger than normal tyres.

As I said, it probably depends on your driving style and use. For someone doing most of their miles up and down the motorway it'll probably make little difference - assuming the wheel alignment is ok. For someone driving around town, on twisty roads or, dare I say it, "making progress", the wear rate will be much more of an issue.

Just fitted a set of Genuine 20" 2015 wheels and 255/55/20 Pirelli Verde All Season Tyres to my 2006 RRSs/c.

You'll probably find the speedo is actually more accurate now, as they will over-read normally. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Someone commented that Bridgestone Dueller HP Sports are grippier on wet and dry road. GT are supposed to be the successors of UHP so no doubt that it's the better M+S tyre from General. I would personally be interested in a comparison with Pirellis Zero Assimetrico, over the disco3 website the feedback is that Pirellis are better than GTs. |

Similar here. I got a set of 20" wheels from a 2014 RRS II with Michelin Alpin Latitude 255/55R20 110V tyres on them earlier in the year (good deal buying winter wheels in June!) and having just put them on my 2010 TDV8 have realised in hindsight they're "too big". All I'm really concerned about is the insurance aspect - I'll have a trip out with the GPS to do some speedo calibration, and they ride well and there's no rubbing at full lock or anything like that. EDIT: For reference, after much searching and reading around all season tyres etc... I decided to just call my insurer (eSure) who had no issue at all with the slightly different tyre size provided the tyres had legal tread etc... |
