    First, you pick is not defective with a probability of 17/20, the second with a probability of 16/19, the third 15/18, and the fourth 14/17.

    So the probability of picking no defective tyres is:

    (14*15*16*17) / (17*18*19*20) = 168/342=84/171

    So the probability of picking at least one defective tyre is 87/171 (just over half).
