Do you have good roads where you live?

No. I'm a cyclist and so am very aware of just how bad the roads are around here.
We all have a different idea of what feels comfortable, but the van is certainly no worse than my wife's Mini Countryman Cooper SD.

Looking very nice colin, how did you manage to get the stealership to fit for free ,that's a brucy bonus, I'm running 275/40/20 thought the 35s might be pushing it after having 35 s on my a3 quattro

Hi everyone my first post on here, I know this is an old conversion but I thought I’d add some info I found out recently which may help someone when choosing tyres...the ‘40’ you quote is actually 40% of the width. I always thought it was meaning 35mm!
So to work it out on calculator 275 X 40 % = 110 divided by 2 gives you the actual tyre profile of 55mm

@Mickm just wanted to point out that the tyre profile - in this instance - is 275 x 40% = 110mm

The tyre profile (depth, thickness) is 110mm

There is no need to divide by 2 to get the profile dimension

Hope this helps!

Hi mate yeah well the 110 is both ‘top and bottom’ added together. To get the actual profile of rubber running around the wheel you need to divide by 2

I'm afraid I beg to differ...for a tyre with a 275/40 aspect ratio, the 110mm is the dimension/measurement of the tyre sidewall/profile - there is no top and bottom as such, just one dimension.
