never heard of them. What load rating are they?
Me neither, load rating is the part immediately after the size, the 112 bit in 255/55r19 112V. They need to be 111 V or H to be street legal.

sounds very similar to my first set of 20" rubber, some brand new 275/45x20 Hankook Ventus tyres. Great price - crap tyres should have been the advertising. Couldn't take them off fast enough. Car felt like it was all over the place.
I think the tyre construction/sidewall is very poor, giving these bad handling/performance problems.

You would do better off fitting a pair of Durex.

An old quote but worth remembering!
It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought for.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It cannot be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

Accelera Iota
I've just recently bought an 07 D3 HSE from a Land Rover dealer and it's got 4 of those Accelera Iota rubber things on it. I certainly gave the DSC a good workout on the roads North of Inverness on my way home. I was beginning to think it was my driving but having read the posts on here I will be changing them for something better very soon. Anyone want a set of hardly worn 255/55 19s?2015 Discovery 4 HSE Corris with Blackpack
