Hi, I changed the variant to sort the speedo out on my 6.1 when I put 245/65 r17 BFG A/T's on, I ended up on variant 8 before the speedo was correct.
However...... I have since changed to Cooper Discoverer ATT 225/65 R17 (found the BFG's too heavy and braking wasn't great when fully loaded) and...
Just decided to add my 5p, i lifted the back 30mm with eibacher springs as van is full camper conversion so was sitting low. Tyres are 245/65/17 no rubbing or any other issues.
Spare dimension is a conundrum for me as I hope to order Rally Raids as soon as I get a quote - apparently black rims now available in Italy from early this month. This week I came across a fellow with a T6 4 motion who said he has fitted 225 65 R17 BFG in the spare location (34 mm larger than...
...T30.
Wheels are 17 inch Fuel Coverts - sorry don't know the width as Van Haven supplied them as part of the conversion.
Tyres are BFG AT2 K02 245/65/17 111/108S
Very pleased with the full package. Tyres 'thrum' a bit at 40 but quieten down completely at motorway speed.
Early days on MPG but...
Hi all fairly new to the VW crowd coming from a pickup. Mines a LWB 4MO working van for wind and solar farm work so does plenty of motorway miles between sites but needs to be able to earn its keep on and off tracks around the sites.
Just picked these up, Cooper AT3 on a recently power coated...
So I have some 7" wide 17" VW wheels with ET55, These are just in being powder coated ready for some big ole tyres.
I have gone for 245/65/17 BFG KO2 tyres.
I am thinking about adding some 25mm spacers front and rear. Would I be daft in doing this or is this something I should 100% be doing?
I run that size and there is no need to recalibrate as the speedo will become GPS correct.
You only need to do this like I did yesterday for another member if you went up to 245/65/17 when the speedo would read under.
...issues getting swamper wheels to fit around the large breaks. I have tried the Wolfrace Sahara with 10mm spacers (to get round breaks) with 245/65/17 BFGs and the set up doesn’t work. Tyres sit outside wheel arch and rub the wheel arch liner. The van is on standard suspension.
looking at the...
...common recommendation, but will this give me the bulge I want on 8.5j rims?
I'd feel a bit stupid spending £1,800 on off-road wheels and tyres if I kerbed the rims parking on the high street!
And if I go for 235/65/R17 or 245/65/R17 am I going to have problems with excess circumference or...
...someone here can help me track down a set of tyres.
The story is, I was at Busfest in 2019 and purchased a set of 17" KMC Holeshot's with 245/65/17 BF Goodrich KO2 tyres to fit on my T30 LWB. These have been great and served me well, however I am looking for something less aggressive now...
Not sure about braking distance but I get 37/38 mpg with bfg tyres
The rolling resistance grade is something like 5 miles over 500 to change grades iirc
I am about to buy a set of Fuel Zephyrs for my T6.1 Shuttle running on 235/65/17 and as far as I am aware no one is yet able to tweak the calibration on the 6.1 software to correct the speedo, so was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this...
