...Not needing too much of an excuse, I managed to convince the other half that we NEEDED some choice modifications! Top of the list was a set of 17” Black Rhino Warlord wheels with AT tyres, in a 235/65/17- they arrive from Elite, tomorrow!
A quick ‘before pic’ of the van in its current state!
@Alexander4699 235-55-17 have and overall diameter of 690.3mm, compared to 225-65-17 with and overall diameter of 724.3mm. You are quite right in saying there is a 34mm difference. However, the overall vehicle height will be raised by the radius difference which is 17mm. That's the difference...
As above. I ran 215/60/17 on my Devonports (standard size) and also ran 235/55/17 which are almost identical circumference etc. without issue.
I currently have 236/65/17 which is a popular AT tyre size. It is bigger so it looks the part and is certainly more comfortable. While it does affect...
Not Ascot Grey, but I just changed mine from 20" 275/40/RZ20. Ride was hard and handling not to my liking.
I added 17" Fuel Zephyr Wheels with Falken Wild track 235/65/17 All Terrain. Totally different beast.
Yes definitely 108 load rating, 2356517, I’m about to order a set for winter, I’m just deciding what wheels to put them on
They have a new version of this tyre but reports are it’s a different compound and not so good on snow and ice, so buying the AT3s while still available
I'm surprised with lining it falls out!
I have to force mine in...do you make sure it's pushed down into the lower slots?
If you go down the clip route, be careful of clearance when opening as mine pretty much touches the wheel (OZ Rally Raids with 235/65/17 tyres though)
We are off to…… I don’t actually know…. Somewhere in Europe… next weekend. My T6 4motion normally wears 235/65/17 General Grabber AT3 because they look cool and the council owned country parks round here have some pretty extreme terrain . But the spare is a 215/60/17. If I got a puncher and put...
Hello, I got 255/45/18 on my t6 with stock rims and Koni suspension (30mm higher) but hungarian roads are very bad and I was thinking on changing it to 235/55/17 or stay with the same rims and put 255/55/18 or 235/55/18 - but then my dsg would be more sluggish and I dont know which to choose...
I was running 225/55/17 Goodyear EfficienctGrip Cargo with the Solow's. I've since switched to the BMVS Edition bilstein coilovers and now run Falken Wildpeak 235/65/17. The Solow set up was fine for general driving but too low for the muddy lanes and fields which my new hobbies now involve.
Yours appears to be very similar to my spec actually. A couple of disappointments compared with my 2019 van-
- no electric sliding doors or boot- was this not on the 2018 model? Retrofit looks pricey!!
- no ACC- again, not standard on 2018? Retrofit looks reasonable?
235/65's should be completely fine, I think they're fine even down to 40/50mm lowered.
You've got the same wheels as me, 17" Cascavel so presumably 235/55 tyres, with 235/65 tyres you'll gain about 20-25mm ride height, but you're already lower by 20mm (probably more) than a std van which is...
Great journey down. The 235/65/17 A/T tyres are brilliant! I couldn’t notice any difference on road noise, but they give a far more compliant ride quality. They soak up our potholed roads perfectly! I found they gripped well on the dry roads, and never stepped out or understeered on the wet...
Iv got 2356517 GG AT3 and I’m reading 3 mph under on the dash at 70mph.
Also have 25mm lift spacers,fitted by CRS, with Koni adaptive shocks, and kept the original T32 springs, drives lovely.
Same wheel and tyre package but no conversion (just sound deadening) in my LWB T32 Kombi. 38 psi all round.
There was a 40 psi maximum pressure mentioned for these tyres. I fell for it myself until recently when someone on here pointed out that the warning on the sidewall in tiny words says...
@Paynewright
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I will be looking to pick up a ser of these wheels (not banded) and fit 235/65/17 for a lowered swamper look.
I have found some rough oness locally that I would like to media blast back to bare metal and powder coat bronze.
Just wanted to...
