tyre wear

I’ve just had a set of eagle f1 a and I’m through them at 7k miles, that normal? Any other tyres recommendations? 265/40/20

After some advice please Been looking for some new alloys for my T6 as the stock wheels look tiny I had my eye on a set of 19” wheels and was going to go for a 245 / 55 tyre but a friend who has a tyre garage (and a T5 himself) advised that the van eats through tyres and I’m better off getting...

Hi, I have a LWB T32 on eibach coilovers and 20” super metal tridents clad in 265/40 eagle F1 tyres runNing at 42 psi on the rear. The van is racked out and carries a reasonable load all the time, tools and materials. The van wore the last set of rear tyres on the inside edge down to the cores...

Hi All I have been looking to lower my T28 however last night when scrolling facebook i noticed a post from someone (i cant find it now) who had balled rear tyres after a very short period. Discussion was around tyre pressure etc and how low the van was. It was mentioned that once past 40mm...

Hi All, Be interested to hear what sort of mileage are people getting from their tyres? I have fwd 150bhp with around 14k miles and the front tyres are getting toward replacement time. What sort of mileage are others getting before replacing tyres?

Hi, I have a t28 t6.1 highline 150dsg and I've just checked tyres at 9300 miles and all 4 are worn to the point that they all need replacing. One (rear off) is at legal limit so need to change ASAP. I'm currently running the bridgestone weather control a005 245/45/18 100y Any ideas as to what...

So the van went in for some work today, had it a few weeks now. They got it on the ramp and were greeted with this mess :D Which obviously isnt good, these are 20" wheels, I have no idea what springs or anything is on the van but according to the sale listing, its been lowered 55mm on the...

Hi lads, I have done nearly 27,000 in my kombi T32 on continentals. The fronts are needing done and the backs I reckon I will get another few thousand miles out of them. Would you’s just change the fronts or do all 4 at the same time? Your knowledge would be appreciated :)

Please could anyone tell me which tyres came with their T32 Highline as VW list two sizes, one is 235/55/17 and the other is 215/65/17? Cheers.

Happened last night on the M5 - was only doing 70mph +VAT Have replaced immediately with the same Continental Conti 200 - was able to bring this this to the hard shoulder calmly - glad they were commercial rated. For those thinking of not using C tyres!!

I have a Caravelle 2019 executive 204bhp and it seems to wear out tyres very quickly, i now have winter tyres on the front and the FNS in is basically falling to bits with pieces dropping off it....any advice as new to the forum ??

Hi all, I've got a 2018 T6 4Motion Multivan running 20" wheels and 245/45 tyres. My issue is with rubbing the edges off tyres in no time at all. Regular wheel alignments, correct pressures but man do I go through tyres. I assume this is not just my problem. Question is has anyone upgraded...

Hi, still got the same hankooks the van came with, but what sort of mileage are other getting out of them please.

Evening all. My 2016 LWB T32 has had an annoying hum from the rear since I purchased it last year (and probably earlier...). I noticed on the long drive home but wasn't too concerned as a hum from the rear can only really be tyre or wheel bearing related. With new alloys on the list of mods I...

Hi all, I have a T6 high line and I had it lowered when it was getting converted. However, I have changed my tyres (all 4) twice in a period of 2 years. Is this right or is my van not lowered or configured correctly? I have used my van for various trips around the uk and a long one to Croatia. I...

So after @BognorMotors fitted my beautiful BBS wheels, they did a 4 wheel alignment, really thorough job which included taking off my ABT snow plough to ensure the alignment was 100% spot on. I'd covered about 8,000 miles when the new wheels were fitted. I took the van in for a service about...

Hello all On 275/35 and 265/40 applications we’ve always gone with and recommended 40psi all round. Recently we’ve been experimenting with different pressures. We’ve had two t32 Kombi s running Bilsteins and 265/40, one on 36psi and the other on 40psi. Both have covered 12000 in a year. The...

Right, I've had the B14s and 18" wheels (Momo Revenge 8.5 x 18" std ET) then H&R ARBs so now go round bends to the point where all of the campervan accessories ie. pots, pans, kettle and cutlery are turning into debris in their respective cupboards, thing is after a couple of thousand miles it's...

Hi all, first post Have an 18 reg LWB T6 T30 DSG van conversion, converted from new. After only 12000 miles the tread on the rear passenger side is down to 3 mm while all the others are at 6mm wear. Van serviced by VW and all the tyres maintain pressure which is checked weekly. Van supplied...

Need to be replacing a pair of tyres Currently running what came fitted: Goodyear : 215-65R-16C 104-106 T Got 14500 miles out of current set now at 3mm. Anyone got any recommendations or ones to avoid? Also mine is a 9 setter shuttle but logbook shows T32 but do I need tyres with a high...
