New Van Questions

[Mick647]

Hi all, I have just brought a T28 6.1 LWB and I love the drive of the van although not sure if its a little low yet as time will tell I suppose.
The ride is great and sturdy on the road.
My question is it has Staggered Riviera 20" wheels with the tyres below.
Rear 275 / 35 R20 102Y XL
Front 245 / 40 R20 101Y XL
so is this set up ok as I say the van drives great or should all the tyres be say 40 front and rear.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers
Mick

Those sizes have a very similar diameter so should be fine

thanks for the info.

The profile isn't a physical measurement, it's a proportion of the width/diameter. So in this case the 35 and 40 profile will actually be the same physical size due to the differing width of the tyres.

Ok thats great and thanks so much for the information that puts my mind at rest as I need new tyres and so will go for the same sizes I have now.

According to Will They Fit the difference in sidewall is 4mm.

Thats great as I didn't think they looked much different to be honest, I am trying not to change anything as the ride is great and perfect on the road just wondering how long it will be before either scrap the front valance as its only around 160mm off the ground but I suppose take it easy and all should be fine.
Ohh and also don't let the wife load it up too much lol.
