I have never met Long tall John so unable to confirm his dimensions. However, I have just received confirmation from SvTech for my up-plate from T28 to T30 on 20 inch rims.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re not an actual Moomin.
UK Construction and Use regs 1986.....
(a)the tyre is unsuitable having regard to the use to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put"
I read that, if you have a PV and have converted it to non- commercial purposes (camper, day-van) you can use non C tyres.
"Condition and maintenance of tyres
27.—(1) Save as provided in paragraphs (2), (3) and (4), a wheeled motor vehicle or trailer a wheel of which is fitted with a pneumatic tyre shall not be used on a road, if—(a)the tyre is unsuitable having regard to the use to which the motor vehicle or trailer is being put"

As said Volkswagen sell T32 panel vans without C marked tyres on vans like the Sportline.
there’s a reason to go to a Forum event one day - sit round a fire and find out!
Now we need to know whether you managed to gain conclusive proof she was actually a girl.
I couldn't possibly say on this family friendly forum.Now we need to know whether you managed to gain conclusive proof she was actually a girl.
Given that the tyre fitter's anecdote is at variance with this community's experience (of many people over a protracted length of time), you should probably be asking the fitter for evidence that supports their claim, rather than asking the community to provide evidence to the contrary.
I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark and suggest that commercial-rated tyres are more expensive than car tyres!
Here is the tyre label from my T28 PV (now a converted camper) which clearly shows non C rated tyres as an option. The manual does not specify C Rated either, just the correct size, speed and load rating.
If anyone is worried just inform your insurance company you are running non standard wheels/tyres. They probably won’t even ask what and it will only cost a nominal amount if anything at all.
Edit: C rated tyres allow for higher pressures (above 50psi I believe) which will become a factor on the higher weight vans.

And go get the docs from Etrto aswell, they’ll keep you right

If you are suggesting I’m an idiot, you are entitled you your opinion, but suggest you keep it to yourself. Just as I am doing regarding you.He’s an idiot.
He’ll still not be happy with that.
