For a moment I thought everything I knew about tyres (not that much!) was wrong!!!

Hi Oli, thank you. Really appreciate the advice. So 275/ 40/20, what rating should I look for? apologies if I'm asking the wrong questions, I am clearly not tuned into this.

 

[DaveD]

Oli, I'm going to let you put this right!!!

It’s a 275/40/19 You need. And depends what the axle weights are on your shuttle - take a pic of the weight plate inside the bonnet and send it to me

Hi Oli, you are a gentleman, thank you for your help. I have no idea what a weight plate is, hopefully what I have sent it correct? I also sent you the stamps on the actual wheels

 

[BognorMotors]

Your front axle is the heaviest at 1680kg, so 840kg per wheel/tyre. Wheels are man enough, tyres need to be a 102 at least.

HTH

Thank you Oli, does that mean then 275/40/20 102?

should the /20 part not be 19 as they are 19 inch rims?

yes 19 - it was a typo from earlier. 102 is the weight rating of the tyre

Yes 19. I did correct myself hahaha. Late nights

You're a gent, thank you for taking the time to respond, much appreciated.

 

[Wranger]

Oli, one final question, if they were 106 rating, would that matter?

 

[BognorMotors]

No as long as they are over 102

I'm looking for advice on wheels and tyre option for my new T6.1 (T28, 4motion, 199, dsg). Having searched around the forum I'm thinking of a 19" wheel option. I'm struggling to pick the best tyre size, 245/45/19 is a common choice, but I think this is oversized. Searching the web I've found 265/40/19 102xl rated tyres that are a closer diameter to stock and are the correct load rating (I think?) for my T28.

Has anyone had any experience using the 265/40/19 tyre size option, good or bad?

Also, If I opted for the 265/40/19 what would wheel width / offset would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

45/19s put the speedo spot on with a satnav.

Here's my 19s running 45 profiles but these are banded steels and not for everyone.
