Not really no, if anything you want higher, don't want to skimp on the bits that stick your 2 ton machine to the roads.

Not really, should be a minimum of 96. There's some with a 100 loading (at a similar price) here http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?d ... 1&dsco=110

Also using anything less gives your insurance co a "get out of jail free" card if they want to turn down a claim.

And as Kirsty says, those 4 patches of rubber are all that keep you in contact with planet earth.

Have fitted the wheels and tyres, got 95 load rating which according to the tyre manufacturer will take 650kg per wheel and have a speed rating of 168mph!! dont think my bongo will ever see over 70mph! they cost me 68 quid fitted and balanced up..

95's will do short term, I've got them on mine at the mo, but the inner sidewalls on the rears will split after a while. Obviously with catastrophic results. It happened to me but was spotted at the last minute by a diligent MOT tester.

Keep an eye out for some replacements in the meantime.
