Would not fit budgets to mine and if i saw a car i was looking for i would be more wary if it has budgets on it as that would say to me perhaps not enough money to look after it properly |

If it was me I’d be looking at Nexens,,a decent mid range tyre & a good price for what they are.275/40r20’s for about £115-£120 a tyre.

I totally agree Geoff,it’s the first thing I look at when I go look at any car I’m buying,if they are budget tyres I just walk away budget tyres means budget brakes,budget servicing if it has been serviced.Its surprising how many folk come into my place with their top end cars & £240 private plates & ask for budget tyres because they can’t afford decent tyres,,But it does look good on the drive to impress the neighbors.

Car came with Landsail LS588 275/40 R20 110V XL when I bought it thought I'd end up changing them, always had BFGs or general grabbers on my Disco's but pleasantly surprised good grip wet and dry not overly noisy and pulled my 2.2 ton tin tent off a muddy field when rallying over Christmas thought I'd be getting the farmers tractor to pull me off but I did it. If it ain't broken down it soon will

THE NORMAL SIZE FOR MOST SPORTS IS 275 40 20 HAVE SEEN 255 50 20 ON SOME THE PROFILE IS THE HEIGHT OF THE TYRE FROM WHERE IT TOUCHED THE ROAD TO THE RIM OF THE WHEEL THE SMALLER THE PROFILE THE HARDER THE RIDE GENERALLY |

The middle number 55 or 40 is the profile,so a 255/55r20 = 55 is 55% of 255.second question to fit 255/40r20 is not advisable
