235 65 r16 on Clayton?

[Drebin]

Hi all,

After a bit of advice, I'm looking at agilis-crossclimate 235 65 16s putting them on the factory Claytons. Has anyone done this? Any problems fitting a 235 on a 6.5j rim?

Reason for the 235s is that I'm hoping for a comfier tyre. I currently have 205 65s which just seem to small and pumped up to the max.

Also if you have gone 235 65 16s what tyre pressure have you found works

Many thanks

I had similar thoughts.
I wonder if Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 225/60r16 running at 45 psi would be a better choice as almost the same circumference as 205/65r16?

 

[Drebin]

Yeah that was the other size I was looking at due to it being pretty much spot on with the speedometer.

Maybe a bit less of an issue with the 6.5 rim too

Brilliant thank you.

When you say pumped to the max? Are you running a heavy load?

4 bar does feel like "pumped up to the max" in fairness

It's a camper conversion plus 4 of us so i went with the 5 match stick men with all their suitcases haha

Ok. Maybe reduce your pressures a bit then. Remember the higher suggested pressure is fully loaded loaded as a commercial vehicle.

I've tried both and its still quite a rough ride on such a seemingly small tyre

 

[BognorMotors]

Ok. What suspension are you on?

Standard, with I think the stiffer rear

 

[BognorMotors]

Ok. I would look at suspension before you start changing tyres. That will give you the biggest benefit although will cost more.

215/65 on my Claytons. Agilis Cross-climates.

Not sure 235 would go well, and 215 is on the VW sticker.

Very happy with them.
