Tell us your tyre pressures - that’s the most likely cause. Pete

We are on 20” but 235/35/20 at the front then 245 at the rears. Would you recommend the same psi as were slightly lower on the front?

Michelin latitudes are awesome I run these on my t5.1 4motion great all rounder with more of road tyre characteristics.

You can get a 235/65/17 in the cradle and up albeit I do use a trolley jack that I keep in the van all the time and I did have to lower the tyre pressure a bit however I also keep a small Milwaukee tyre inflator. That looks like a good upgrade though.

We had the same problem with Nankang tyres, we didn't even get 7K miles. Religiously maintained pressures and the tracking was fine. Spoke to a tyre fitter when we had them replaced and he stated he had seen many similar issues. UV and lack of use tend to contribute to cracking tyres, however...

Haha! No worries. I will get some pictures tomorrow with how its sat at ride height. Pretty sure its about the same as yours!

Got a very good set of Clayton’s for sale removed from my 2022 T6.1. No kerb marks and all matching Hankook Vantra 205/65 16 tyres with approx 6.2mm on rears and 3.8mm on fronts. There’s a tiny stone chip on one wheel and one tyre has had something wedged in the tread at some point that has cut...

Tyre treads look to be the same mostly perhaps slightly more tread on one on the front but minimal difference although we did fit that tyre on the front newer than the others - how do I sort that? No other lights flagging up or obvious ABS/traction control issues etc

As above, the van doesnt directly measure pressure so no issues changing wheels/tyres you just need to 'save' the tyre pressures after a change

Are the T6's Tire Pressure Sensors? or is the flat tyre warning done by the wheel speeds going out of sync? Trying to decide on having a set of winter & summer wheels or just changing over tyres :) Thanks

That’s pretty scary on a C rated tyre, what was the DOT code (age of the tyre) and were you running at VW recommended pressures?

...the van on a scan tool.. . . you may have a wheel ABS sensor that needs replacing. or a Slow leak in one of the wheels. easy to test though. - use a tyre pressure gauge and check all tyres every few days to see if one is dropping. ( if not the look at ABS sensor) https://amzn.to/3UfRfVw

ABS sensors measure the speed of rotation of each of the wheels. The tyre pressure warning is triggered when one of the wheels average rotation changes over time from the reference you set indicating the tyre has changed size. If it's a sensor issue you'd expect also to get issues with any...

Does anyone have any recommendations for someone to do a suspension upgrade to my 2016 T6 Highline 140 campervan? The ride is very ‘crashy’ in the rear, tyres are suitable pressured (215/65/16) but last night wifie was travelling in the back and said it was unbearable…so time for an upgrade to...

Stored pressures are set as required on screen which is showing in brackets , as once u drive for qtr Mile the picture of the transporter changes from dull to vivid and on screen it says tyre pressures all Ok . Dash tyre pressure light stays on .

The regular T6 uses the wheel speed sensor. Some people have retro fitted direct tpms. Which uses pressure sensors in the wheel.

...regards to ride. I have VW spec coilovers (KW / Eibach combo) wound down to max - 70mm. Worse ride was 275 40 20 on stock suspension. Best was 255 45 18 on Eibach. Tyre pressure also makes considerable difference to ride but as I do high mileage I generally keep pressures up to aid with...

It was likely the different wheel speeds as you were getting towed and wheels were intermittently moving at differing speeds due to the mud and wheel slip that triggered the warning. When you check your tyre pressures before your long trip, remember and reset the TPMS.

Hi there. I have a 2022 T6.1 California Ocean with direct TPMS. I have bought a new genuine spare wheel. Should / can I put a TPMS valve in it? If so, do you know the part number please?

No, it’s too low. A T28 and 30 should have 103 rated tyres (or above). It will say on your tyre pressure sticker in the door jamb. As mentioned above, also check your wheels if they are aftermarket ones as they may not be correctly load rated too.
