Hi people just another one about tyres and air ride… I need some input on brands and sizes I’m currently running 225 35 20 9j fronts 245 35 20 10j rear and there pilot sport 4s cost approx £235 ish a tyre I don’t mind the cost but because I don’t get much wear about of them I’m looking for something abit more cost affordable. I used to run nexen 275 35 20 rear I’m guessing the fronts was 255.. any pictures of your beautiful vans on air ride with images and tyre sizes etc much appreciated

Do you get poor wear due to your ride height? I get great wear on the standard height car.
 
I don’t get hardly any miles out of a set. I put the rears on last may and they are smooth now.. I do use my van for work so I carry some weight hence why they wear fast.. changing to a different brand tho I’m always aware tyres do change width depending on the brand..
 
@Paul Greathead have you had camber adjustable bushes fitted and alignment done correctly buy a proper 4 wheel alignment system and an operator that knows what they're doing?

I'm on air approx 110mm lower than standard and don't have the issue
 
No I’ve not I’ve, Hurd a lot recently say about rear camber adjusters but I am running pilot 4s really soft tyres and it is my work van carrying a lot of weight sometimes.. I need to look into a different make tyre also. What tyres are you running
