Choosing the right tyre for your vehicle is essential for your safety.

20-inch tyres come in a wide range of prices, specifications and brands.

Tyres from reputable brands such as Michelin, Yokohama and Kumho are at a wide range of price points.

Good quality 20-inch tyres are priced from between $250 and $500 each, with many choices in the $300 to $400 price range.

If purchasing from an online store, ensure you order from a secure and reliable website and make a thorough inspection of the wheel once received to ensure they are the correct width and diameter.

How do I know if I need a 20-inch car tyre?

While factors like width and diameter are crucial to determining the suitable car tyre for your car, there are other essential factors to note.

Know where to find the right size

Your car's owners manual is usually the first point of call; however, if you can't find it there, check the drivers' side door jamb, glove box door or gas tank hatch. The manufacturer recommended tyre size can be found in any of these four places, regardless of your type of car.

Tyre lettering

Suppose the letter ''P'' appears at the beginning of your car's number sequence, such as P225/70R1691S, it means you need a passenger tyre type. However, ''LT' at the beginning shows your car needs a light-truck tyre type.

Width

The tyre width is the first number in the sequence. For instance, 225 in P225/70R1691S.

Aspect ratio

The aspect ratio is the number after the first slash on a tyres' number sequence. For example 70 in P225/70R1691S.

Rim diameter

This is the number after the construction code, for example, 16 in P225/70R1691S. It depicts the size of the wheel in which the tyre can be placed. A 16-inch diameter will fit into a 16-inch rim.
