Love my Kato’s, think they are the dogs danglie bits
Hey guys, we're running DELTA Klassik B with BFGs 255,55,18.
Those are nice, pricy though!! I saw a Swiss van (not a T6) with them on while I was in the Italian Alps a few weeks back, saves me trying to identify them!
Indeed, and we are currently on our way back from The Top Of Europe in ours...
Haven't bought any wheels yet, so no - although I've now gone off the ones I pictured as I'm not sure they'd look right in 17" size.
Currently I'm liking the Sparco Gravel in grey, just to offset the blackness of the van!
Just had these fitted to my can. 17 inch tuff torque steels with falken wildpeak AT tyres 235/65/17
@jamesedwards2. Presumably you'll post an opinion non in due course.
Absolutely. Getting their first good run up to Norfolk on the weekend.
I'll be interested to hear you opinion on them. I fitted a set to mine recently and have been very impressed by the lack of noise and te increase in comfort from the extra volume is a bonus, regardless of the higher load rating.
No complaints from me, I just wonder how quickly they wear!
I like the look of the wild peaks.
What tyre size and load rating are they for 17” Kato’s ?

I run 235/65/17 in a 108. They make a 245/65/17 as well but with a 111 rating.
Don't think there are many options outside of these two, maybe a 225 width.
245 will be very large and likely to rub.

Got ya.
My Comforser CF1100 are 225/65/17 102T and are the comfiest AT tyres I’ve ever had.
My Speedo is exact the same as Waze.
I hear a low whine whilst on flat roads.
I’d say a 1/4 the noise of the BFG’s I ran 2 years ago.
Would like to hear the wildpeaks, to see how they compare…

What wheel size came as standard on your van? I know that you can code for different diameters but I assumed that most standard vans were the same value.
255/45/18 103 load.
It’s a California Ocean with Palmerstons.
But the 225/65/17 102T is one of the options in the manual.

Hi, I have the same quandary, I have just bought a set of Tuff Torque steels and want my centre caps to fit but can’t use the VW standard bolts. I currently have standard 19” wheel bolts but think I’m going to try your method, did you have to glue the silicon hose in to the cap or did it fit snuggly, should I go with the 19” ID X 25” ED hose?
Thanks for any help,
Mark
