Recomended tyres for Sportline wheels
- Thread starter SkyMonster
- Start date
Edit - Sorry @ChrisR is correct, the label is under the bonnet.
That is T32, but if you need further confirmation check under the bonnet. Look on the left hand side of the engine bay back below the windscreen scuttle panel. There will be a black weight label. It’ll have 3200 on it if it’s T32. You’ll need tyres load rated to 103 to be fully legal and if those wheels aren’t the original ones then yes you should notify your insurer.
How were the Bridgestone's @Coradia63 ? I have got the wheels, just checking out tyres. Thanks.
Hi @Martymuffin I didnt go with Bridgestones I have fitted Kumho ecsta not really done many miles yet but have used them before on different vehicles and always found them to be good grip, wear and low noise levels so far I am happy with them.
Morning, thanks for the reply. So you completely flipped your ideas. I have had about 3 different choices just from reading other people's ideas. Now I am stuck, lol.
What made you change your mind, was just about to press go with the Bridgestone's...
Thanks Marty

I think your issue might be the weight rating of the tyre, if originally the tyre was looking quite squashed and had to be pumped up high, then you may need a higher load rating like 103 as 101 might not be enough post-conversion with the extra weight.
Hi I have a set of 18 genuine sportline t6 alloy wheels on the van currently running 255-45-18 tyres I am looking at changing the tyre for a 235-60-18
Is there a reason why this shouldn’t be done?
Only asking as my old sportline wheels had 235-45-18’s on when I bought the van and this one has 255-45-18
any help is greatly appreciated

The two factory sizes for the 18" wheel are 255/45 19 or 235/50/18, if you want the official sizes.
The size you mention is oversize

Very good tyre. I run them on my cars. A bit noisier than some tyres. As you know grip is phenomenal
I have just purchased a 2016 T32 Sportline campervan and have been on a load of sites trying to find the right pressure for my 255/45/R18 tyres .... at present I have them at 44psi all round .... any advice from knowledgeable members would be most helpful .... thanks

I run sportlines on my T32. 44 front, 41 rear on the unladen setting.
Tyre Pressures 255/45/18?
Does anyone have tyre pressure info for 18" wheels (on a T32 van) please? Just fitted Uniroyal Rainsport 3's to my van on 18" Wolfrace rims. They're 255 45 R18 103Y and I run the van (mostly) empty. Cheers
