The 45 profile will fit with no issues.

Remember, both models are ultra-high performance super-sticky tyres usually fitted to M-BMWs, Porsches, R-Jaguars and any other low-slung, high-speed vehicles. While the grip and performance are splendid, a 2.7 tonne RRS will eat through them in no time.

What do you mean eat in no time? On my last two sets of tyres I got 35,000 km (22,000 miles)per set. My average speed is around 26km/h and I do about 5-6000km/year. So as long as I will not get much lower km per set it will be OK. A bigger problem is tyre deterioration (ie cracking in the sidewall) due to heat and UV light.

With such mileage/speeds I'd ask "why an UHP tyre then?", but I tend to overprovide for my cars as well.

I would be happy with 24,000km. Thats 4.5 years life with the km's I do.

Most tyres get noisier at the end of their life, just turn the radio up a couple of notches.

If I go for a 275/45 R 20 tyre what size tyre to put on the spare which currently is a 19" rim with a 255/50 R19 tyre and will it fit in the spare tyre position under the rear of the vehicle. |

You would probably need to go up to a 255/55 x 19" tyre if you want to keep your original spare rim, it is actualy possible to fit a 275/45 x 21" wheel with a brand new tyre fitted in the spare wheel well if needed. The 275/45 x 21" is about 781mm diam. 255/55 x 19" is a round 763mm so plenty of room, the 275/45 x 20" is a little less at 756mm.
