How are you finding performance with these tyres on? I've got an 85hp startine and just put some tyres this size on. it's struggling to get up to speed and maintain motorway speeds. Seriously considering a remap! They look brilliant though
Have to say, not noticed any difference. Just had them put on my 4t motorhome as well

After lots of reading, I still don’t understand why for a 6.5J rim, they reccomend the max tyre section should be 215 and yet so many people go above that. Surely you’ll be daft if in a relevant accident it invalidates your insurance and your done by the police for manslaughter?
Also is it just the same if you go from 65% on the side walls to 75% with a 16 inch wheel?
BYW I want to go 225/75/16 too

Thanks for the reply
I've gone from 205/65/16 on basic steels to 245/65/17 alloys - I put t6 in the shop website I bought them from and this size is what came up- will see how it goes. May end up going down in side wall size but time will tell!To be honest, don’t understand any of it. I took advice from this forum and a specialist wheel and tyre supplier and am very happy with what I have.
Same argument could be used for many after market modifications on many cars I guess.

I've been wondering about this. Mines a 102 but don't want to overstrain her. Most day it'll be ok but they've all got 204's! Not surprised you don't notice with that under the bonnet

Hi is that standard springs/steels… love it
Hi all, newbie here.
I've just bought a 2018 twin slider Kombi SWB.
It's taken so long to find one I nearly gave up.
I plan to convert it over time.
I've seen lots of threads regarding all terrains and whether they will fit.
I've fitted 225/75/R16 Falken Wildpeaks on factory 16" Claytons.
I've attached a few pics.
There is absolutely no rubbing and they seem a lot smoother than the original tyres.
I'm sure I will be perstering all of you in the future for advice.
Regards,
Graham

Hi Graham. How are they now you've had them on a while?
Just checked my falken 235/55/18 on will they fit the Speedo will show 7mph slow at 60
What were they like since you posted?
Cheers
I have since changed wheels but they were ok. No rubbing at all. The speedo was out but I knew it would be anyway.
As they were a lot bigger than standard, there was slightly more body roll which is to be expected.
