Stuck some nooo shoes on the van today. Agilis Crossclimate 235/60/17
I think they definitely look the part.

Cost ..??

They come out at around £250 a corner for the tyres on any sites I could find. These came as a package so felt more reasonable.
But if the wife asks, they’re £70 each, wheels included.

Nice - are you running spacers on the rear?

No, the offset of the wheels makes it sit pretty nicely I think.

This could well be my next tyre on my Devonports , currently on my second set of 235/55/17 CrossClimates XL 103 SUV tyres , I love them but the extra load rating and sidewall durability of these would make me feel better. I find the sidewall perishes before i can ware the tread out on mine . How are you finding them ? Speedo reading looks like it will be close enough ?

They’ve been great for me.
They have been really sure footed on muddy greasy roads.
Speedo is absolutely spot on.

I’m running 215/60/17 Agilis CrossClimates on the front of my van on my Devonports. I’ll have the same on the back when the tyres need changing. They’ve been great!

Just put these on Falken AS 220 pro 255/45/19 as the Goodyear AS I had on have been discontinued
£175 each. They do have a strange look ?

Hi, your tyre/wheel combo looks great but how are you finding the ride quality of your tyres, does'nt the higher load rating give your Transporter a harder ride?

It's unlikely to be noticeable. In reality, the load rating scale is not a linear representation of harshness. No doubt it will affect the ride and a very high rated tyre will be stiffer. However, being one or two points higher than needed won't make a difference.
If you are considering higher profile tyres then you can often run them at lower pressures which would cancel out any perceived decrease in ride quality.

Thanks, my new 4 motion is running the standard davenport set up, 215/60/17 conti van contract tyres, just what a nicer wheel / tyre set that doesn't look to over sized, and I don’t want to make my set up much harder than it already is.
