That's the RRS size so may be under rated for weight. "Correct" size would be 255 55 19.

Hi, thanks for the info - I bought some RR alloys so that'll explain it. Been running them for year now, the Avon ones are XL (extra load?) do you think they'll be ok?

Size itself wouldn't be an issue, it's the 3 digit code before the speed rating. They should be 111 or above.
Don't forget to inform your insurers of the non-standard wheels & tyres.

Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.

Blimey, thanks - Didn't even cross my mind it would affect insurance, didn't bother with all my previous cars

Cheers, just booked in at local fitting centre for Saturday 7th - Managed to get through ASDA tyres and used a local centre with 4 wheel tracking/alignment... Cost per tyre £101.70 each all in which I thought was excellent value for the Avon ZX7 255 55 19 111VXL (B fuel efficiency, A for grip and 71db) - Will see how they wear.
10% discount ASDA code 140 plus ANY other 7 digits to get discount - Think it's under ASDA key box as you book centre or apply discount code link if using mobile versionLED interior lights - CREE sidelights - DRL halo front fogs - Rear reflectors replaced with side/brake lights - Thinking about BAS remap
