Tyre width question

[croyde]

Hello All

A mate of mine has just called and asked me if he can replace the worn 245 tyres on his 9 year old S-Class with some bargain 255 tyres that he has seen on eBay.

Is this possible or completely dependent on his rim size?

Cheers.

Cheers and it is the same aspect ratio. Ta.

Personally I would never buy secondhand tyres and go into a lot of research to buy what's best for my Beemer, Triumph, Giant or Specialized but my friend always likes to go for a bargain.

Maybe that's why he can take the family on 4 exotic holidays a year whilst all I can manage is a rainy weekend in Center Parcs.
