    Nokian Weatherproof - Not ageing well.

    These are my old Nokian's still on their 17" rims, as I've changed to 18" rims My tyres: Only 3.5 years old!!!!!!! OMG but hang on 41k miles later........... (and never rotated) The wear pattern is slightly strange, but my tyres still had 4mm left across most of the tread and were...

    Sold Weller 17" Deep Steels.

    These beasts are back up for sale again, after I was given slightly incorrect information from Weller Wheels :( Just so it's clear, these wheels do not fit the big T6 brakes. 17" Weller Deeps, staggered 10" rear and 8.5" fronts, running 255/65/17 rear, and 235/60/17 fronts, both rated 106 and...

    18” Tyre recommendations

    Ok so just checking my maths and research are correct. From the VW brochure the tyres that come with the 18" Sportlines are 235 / 50. From the VW configurator the 17" Tyres are 215 / 60 If I go ahead with 255 /45 GoodYears I get a difference in total wheel n Tyre diameter. VW 17" & 216 /60 =...

    Its At This Moment.....

    ...SUV (0-60 6.1secs) I am wondering whether I will miss the Pirelli P Zero's in summer???? I would like to buy some Volvo 18" wheels and fit 235/60/18's All-Seasons; but the volvo wheels are damned expensive as well. Maybe get some 245/45/20 Michelins, then put the Pirellis back on, if the...

    Am I Being Thick?

    Another factor is that the larger diameter will reduce the acceleration, so more right foot will be required when pulling away.

    Am I Being Thick?

    That is a huge difference What size tyres are you now running? I run 235/60/17 which are around 3.5% larger rolling radius; so roughly speaking when my van say I'm getting 30mpg, it's actually 31mpg - all other things being equal. The biggest tyres people run on this forum (mostly) are...

    Filling the wheel arch ....

    I think many of us have had similar thoughts at one time or another; for what its worth Upgrading your suspension to B14 would give you much more than just aesthetics; and you can lower it bit or a lot or in-between; or change your mind regularly You might be able to sell your claytons, and buy...

    All-Season Tyre recommendations

    Hi, newbie here so please forgive if I have missed an earlier response on this - I have searched the forum. I have 18" wolfrace Eurosport aero's fitted which came from the camper conversion company with budget sports tyres. The tyres are wearing fast and are useless on grass/mud/snow. I'm...

    Issue with ACC and lowering?

    I have both ACC and DCC, but as soon as I got the Vel I fitted 25mm wheels spacers, and slightly larger tyres from 235/55/17 to 235/60/17 because It looked so under rubbered. It made a massive difference to the stance of the vehicle; plus I got the tyres of my choice. I must the handling and...

    Sold Monster Steel Wheels

    This is something that doesn't come up for sale very often, but I have just purchased a set of 17" Weller deep steels. To my disappointment they do not fit the big brakes of my T32. I don't know why, because I've run 17s several times with no issues. It also says nothing on the Weller website...

    Stock steelie colour choice?

    I had MLatX on my T5 235/60/16 before i swopped to sportline 18" and some 255/55/18 GeneralGrabber AT. The latitudeX tyres last for ever, and seem pretty good in most uses, just wanted a bit more bite in muddy grass fields so swapped for some AT's. But I honestly believe the Nokian...

    Issue with ACC and lowering?

    Yes that's my tyre size. Went in to VW today and asked about suspension, they are getting back to me tomorrow. We are really happy with it all, drives so well.... just like it to sit lower and I must admit I'm tempted by some 20"+ alloys. Also got my eye on the new T6 side bars, slightly...

    All terrain tyres - recommendations and pictures

    Running Mud & Snow & 3pms (3 peak mountain snowflake - winter) all weather, all seasons, so will perform in summer and winter (not too cold). Just got 17k miles on them pretty much perfect for our needs and look like they will do 25k-30k miles and still have 3mm of tread left on them. Probably...

    My local VW Vindis happy to lower with DCC

    I also didn't like the look of my tyre/wheel arch profile, but personally I was very reluctant to change the suspension for all sorts of reasons; so Instead I fitted 25mm HR hubcentric wheel spacers all round (you can fit 30/40mm spacers on the rear). I also slightly oversized the tyre from a...

    All terrain tyres - recommendations and pictures

    I ran 235/60/16 michelin LatitudeX on my T5 for years. They are certainly a very good summer tyre, but they really aren't all seasons, so not as good in winter as proper all seasons. To be honest all seasons weren't around 8 years ago, they have only a few years old to my knowledge. On a van the...

    All terrain tyres - recommendations and pictures

    hi all, does anyone have all terrain tyres on their van? I love the look but am interested in how loud they are compared to smoother tyres and if there are any other draw backs people have encountered, thanks

    Going up in the world....

    Two references spring to mind: The first being VB Air http://www.vbairsuspension.com/upload/files/00001946.pdf It looks like they are happy at a 30mm raise is standard running, it will go higher and lower, but it is linked to the can-bus on the vehicle, so as you increase speed the vehicle will...
