Forgot about the THQ tyres, but I’d personally go for the bigger sidewall’s tyre unless on air and need lows!

Thanks both, that's been massively helpful. Bit disappointed that a tyre dealer would fit the tyres without question or challenge with them being underrated. Just need to figure out the rim width and get them sorted.
Might have look at the same time for deals on rims and tyres as I've dinged mine a few times since I got the van as wasn't used to it.

We stock nearly 25+ different sets of alloys.
Yes. That’s the VLR08
Hi Oli, do you get many issues with Velare wheels in terms of 'crackage', or have I just been unlucky with 2 cracked VLR 07's?
So they would be 8.5 rims so the 245/45/20s would work?
They are all the correct weight rating. The roads are in such a poor state. I think you’ve been unlucky.
Many thanks Oli
@Stanfield - Possibly these?

Do you have a link for the VW centre caps or are they original?
They are self adhesive ones but they are metal and slightly domed. I just stuck them on the green Leighton centre caps. I’ve been asked before, but can’t for the life of me find the website where I bought them. Sorry.
Bit of a random one this, but I have a set of 20" tyres I need to move on (brand new)

As everyone on this thread is running 20's I thought it might 'ping a few notifications' and get a bit of traction on selling them!

For Sale - x4 Brand-New Kumho Ecsta PS71 275/35/20 Y(102) Tyres
For sale, due to being supplied on my 20" wheels but not being load rated for my T32. Black Circles are selling them for £158 + delivery. Collection from Bristol (BS30) or I can deliver at a negotiated rate as I travel an awful lot over the country!! Is £500 for the lot too cheap?

Let me be upfront from the start, I hate buying tyres, they melt my brain!
I approaching needing to replace my fronts, I have PHI (not sure if they are the accelerator ones people mention here) 245/45 ZR20’s all round. I’m in a 2015 T32 Kombi. In my previous cars I’ve always gone Michelin cross climate and love them, I don’t do crazy miles so looking to ask:
If you were inclined to pay more if it’s worth it, what tyre type would you choose along the lines of the cross climate?
Also should I get a like for like size or would the general hive mind suggest changing sizes?
Thanks in advance !

If you're happy with the Cross Climate 2 tyre in that size I'd stick with it and replace like for like.
I am rather partial to my Cross Climate 2 SUV's, with the same 245/45 on the front and 275/40's on the rear. My front wheels are 8.5 width and the rears are a 10".
Great in freezing conditions and very happy last weekend on a very wet grassland campsite. Over 5000 miles in on them with no signs of wear.
I'll use them again next time.
