Mine is a 2017 T32 Kombi and also shows 1710kg and 1720kg.
Someone swapped over parts. Was the vehicle bought from new?
All a little strange. Personally I would tend to go for higher rated tyres. Perhaps the vehicle was on special order that was cancelled or something like COVID made some parts difficult to access so that is how it ended up. I am only guessing with my suggestions not implying any wrong doing.
I seam to recall that years ago before winter tyres had any foot hold in GB that winter tyres were OK to purchase and accept lower speed rating threshold also. One can mow buy winter and M&S £peaks ect at almost any speed rating but historically that was not he case, well here in GB maybe that is or was the same for load rating though that does appears strange. It must remain one of those strange anomalies!
I wonder if VW them self’s can throw any light on the matter but who and where to ask I would have no idea.

If it's an early van is it possible that the axle loads were uprated for later variants? Perhaps its a carry over from the last T5.1 T32?
My 2016 Euro 5 T32 has the same 1710/1720 kg as most others here. I know the Euro 5's were a bit of a stop-gap between the T5.1 and full T6 but I wonder if the actual changeover was blended over a few months?

Off topic a little, currently on Michelin CC2's 104 rating... fronts are due to be renewed very soon, thinking of going with Michelin Latitudes Cross or the Tour 107V... would these last & wear better you think.. My rears have barely worn in a year.
Just wondering whether a higher load tyre or van tyre even, would be better for a loaded T32....

Michelin CrossClimate 3 are available now though advertising is sparse or a little slow in GB perhaps they are trying to sell off old stock first.Off topic a little, currently on Michelin CC2's 104 rating... fronts are due to be renewed very soon, thinking of going with Michelin Latitudes Cross or the Tour 107V... would these last & wear better you think..

Yes I guess you are correct as soon as the sale date 25 July came I searched and searched not even a list price across the range very poor. Have been waiting since they where first announced!Just had a quick look.. scheduled release 1st July '25... so probably August or later by the time the UK get them
Typical though as my tyres realistically going to need changing before the end of August latest..
conundrum time
That is sods law but surely another week should se them readily available or is it just a sign of the times and general unavailability of things that we often take for granted.Typical though as my tyres realistically going to need changing before the end of August latest..

Some idea from here do not see the size that I want perhaps later on or go up in size again not ready for that as i would need a gearing change and some modifications and would want them in advance to be ready.
awesome! cheers bud.
I've been looking at different sites etc & even ATS didn't mention CC3's! my size £244 for 2... CC2's are £300 less the promotion not included. £36 off for 2 tyres of £72 for 4.
