17” tyre recommendations

[JJW]

This may be a silly question -

I have a 2022 T32 with original 17inch alloys and tyres 215/60 R17 109. Need some new tyres, can I put crossclimate 2 235/65 R17 108 on it?

Thanks

It's not a silly question if you don't know the answer.

Some folks on here might be able to give you a straight yes/no answer, but as I'm not one of them, I'd use this site to check out the difference in rolling circumference (and therefore % speedo error) between the two sizes...

Cheers but I'm not sure what wheel width or offset input is in this calculator

I don't think the width and offset matter for calculating the rolling circumference - they're used for determining wheel position within the wheel arch (i.e. wheel tuck and poke)

Hi. The tyres should fit fine with standard wheels, unless van as seriously lowered.

VW California Oceans have 235/55 r17s as standard fit. So width should be no problem.
Also, find some links re 235/65 r17 tyres on VW California Club here;

Search results for query: 235/65 r17

And a link to the wheel-size.com comparison calculator here;

Hope this helps.

PS Remember your Speedo will
Show a 7% lower speed than with standard tyres.

T32 std steel wheels, and just put 235/65 17 108's on no issue, Falken Wild thingy's on a t5.1 Caravelle (I think lowered 20mm)

im running 17" devonports with 235/55/17 cross climate 2, thats an OEM size so wont throw the speedo out. and reason you want larger 235/65?

they come in 103 XL 875kg so more than enough for t32

Helllo!

Looking for some decent MPG and not too noisy for my 17s, any recommendations?
Been doing some research and found these so far:
Pirelli scorpion AT tyres
Michelin Latitude Cross
Grabber AT3**
Cooper Discover at3s

Cheers

I've just done over 10k on a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 SUV (108w) - get decent MPG, low noise and superb road grip.

65 are cheaper that's all. Not sure what that number means I could go for 60 so matching existing??

The first of the two numbers is the nominal section width of the tyre. It is given in millimetres and defines the distance between the inner and outer sidewall of the tyre. For example, 205 means that your tyre is nominally 205 mm wide.

The second number is the relationship between a tyre’s sidewall height and the tyre's width. It is expressed as a percentage. For example, 55 indicates that the sidewall height, between the top of the tread and the rim, is 55% of the tyre width.

Copied from the Michelin website.

Put your numbers in here: https://www.willtheyfit.com/

and that will compare any two set ups. Would be worth putting in the OEM sizes vs what your running/ want to run and it will tell you how much bigger and speedo impact etc.

Thanks all

Hello! Looking at some 17” tyres, I have seen 90% of people go for 235 width and 55 or 65 profile. Hard decision, but is there any advantages to having wider tyres? I suppose the wider the louder too.

If you have a 4 motion, it would be advisable to change to the same circumference on the spare wheel.
I’m not sure about a 235 but a 225 65 r17 will fit in the carrier without any modifications
