Hi Simon You probably know all this but if you don't then I hope the following helps you. The load rating of tyres that are suitable for your van can be obtained from your manual, if you don't have a manual call jct 600 @ york and they will advise the loading capacity of your van (They do vary) you can then very simply calculate the correct load rating index for your van, the load rating is very important because of the weight/speed ratio and your insurance, if you fit wrongly rated tyres and you have a prang the first thing the loss adjuster looks at are the tyres. From memory I think you need a load rating >94, but please do not take my word for that, it is only memory. Here is a link to a good site that will explain it all to you. www.tyresave.co.uk/tyreload.htmlDerek

The T4club Forum have threads dedicated to wheels and tyres, there are so many variations which are controlled of course by wheel types and load spec. This may be helpful too. www.vwt4forum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=5
