a 40 series tyre, is a tyre size that fits on a 40 series rim, looks like you have either just got yourself a useless set of tyres or cost yourself a new set of rims.

Generally tires are rated in series 70, 60, 50, 40- this means that the sidewall is 40% of the treads width. tread width 2" sidewall just under 1/2"
