Tyres for staggered 20” on a 4Mo

[Filer25]

Hi guys I’m in need of some advice I have T30 4 motion with staggered wheels (judd t311r 20”
Front 9j et38
Rear 10.5 et 42
Tyres are front 245/40/20
Rears 265/40/20 question is can I keep this set up until the fronts need changing then change the fronts to 265/40/20 ? Or do I change them now ?

For a 4 motion all 4 tyres need to be the same circumference and yours are quite a bit off. 265/40/20 must be quite stretched on a 10.5 too.

You'd be better of with 245/40/20 F and 275/35/20 R

Thanks for this I think I might change all 4 to 275/35/20 and keep them all the same

I think all 4 motions are T32 so be careful to select the correct weight limit for your choice of tyres

I run 245/40 and 255/40 on the same width rims as you. The tyres aren't load rated enough for my T32 kombi but I have had no problems since getting the wheels. I only fully load it for a couple of camping holidays a year and that's still no were near the max wait for the van.

It’s for the mot that you have the correct load rating but I think a T32 kombi is a class 4 so you are ok.
T32 panel van is class 7.

I would be surprised if they check the tyres and very much doubt they take the alloy off to check the load rating.

 

[Randolph]

They probably don’t look at the wheel load rating but they definitely look at tyre load rating

Not quite right as I have a factory T30 Kombi 4Motion, but your point about being careful on load ratings is still very valid.

I’m not sure if the weight limit changes with different 4 motion models but when I ordered a swb 4 motion 199 panel van, it was T32 but perhaps a 150 without dsg was classed as T30 ?
When I look on the v5 the model states T30 but the weight states 3200kg.
