yes but like everything else they have gone uppicking up on an old thread here I know, but can you still get trade prices @T6dork?

Hello, as I understand it the C rating is to show that the tyres are correct for commercial vehicles, lesser-rated tyres may not cope with the loading exacted upon them.We run a fleet policy, and I have had this conversation regarding "C" tyres, they didn't give a monkeys. So you can have your own conversation with your own insurer regarding this matter. As I understand it, the C tyre is a tyre that is designed for the fleet market, i.e it lasts along time. In my experience that is it, pretty rubbish in every other aspect. A 106xl tyre with all season designation is far far better than any rubbish "C" tyre.
It’s all to do with tyre size, load rating (e.g. 103) and max pressure. In smaller sizes such as 16” to get a sufficient load rating (103) and high enough max pressure the tyre will have been made for the van market (rather than lighter cars) and will be C rated. Larger size tyres (e.g. 18”) will have some designed for larger cars/SUVs and come with a load rating and max pressure capacity high enough for the T6. These will not be C rated, partly because they don’t need to be as the load capacity is high enough and also because there is not the market for these larger tyres in the commercial sector.Hello, as I understand it the C rating is to show that the tyres are correct for commercial vehicles, lesser-rated tyres may not cope with the loading exacted upon them.
235/55/18 would work well.Hi all I’m looking for some advice currently have 8"x18" JBW ROK GLOSS BLACK STEEL WHEELS what size tyres would look best, feel the arches without rubbing, raising or adding spacers. Currently have a lwb t30 on standard suspension. Thanks
Brilliant Thankyou for the reply. What tyres would you recommend for all year round use and comply with the load rating? Sorry if I come across a bit simple it’s a minefield when you start looking into what works best235/55/18 would work well.

Good recommendation - I have just replaced the tyres that were fitted to the van when I purchased (Falken Azenis FK510 255 45Z R18 103Y) with Cross Climate 2 235/55 R18 V (104).
I wanted the AT Grabbers, but with 18's I don't think these would look right - these are more practical and fill the arches a bit more (note it is a 4 Motion T32):

Really interested in a set up like this. Do you have a side on photo of the wheels with the CC2?Sorted mine - 235/55/18 on 8.5" rims. Stuck them on the van tonight. Devonports off. Quite a difference. 235 on an 8.5" rim turned out to be absolutely no issue.

That’s really useful - thank you so much. Is your van standard height? I only ask as I’m down 55mm at the front and 50mm at the rear. Also, do you mind if I ask what wheels you have? Great looking van.Plenty
Edit: should point out van has also now been to @CRS Performance so is lower too. I want to say 50mm but I’m not exactly sure.
