the 215 & 205 part is the width of the tyre, ie. 205mm and 215mm. the 40 bit is the profile,the trye 'wall' hieght as a % of the width i believe. not sure if those tyres woul fit, at a guess i'd say no. fula have quite a good rep but cant go wrong with the perelli's etc.. of this world........
hope i was a help

I wouldn't rate Fulda though, not to great in either the wet or dry. I'd go with Toyo's, they're very cheap for that size of tyre and good in both dry and wet conditions.

fulda are fine but i would go for bigger tyres than 205/40s - it might sound a bit gay but they look vv skinny and show a lot of arch compared to the fatter tyres!!
