Tyre Choice for Alloy Wheels

[missfixit70]

You need to take note of the speed rating as well, got to be "H" rated or "S" or anything alphabetically higher than that, mine are W. All the info is in the factsheets in the member area, or websites such as blackcircles I think

Welcome Steve and Gail

I am changing to 17" alloys and used Wheel Base. You just put in the details of your car,pick your wheels and and they then send you them with the correct tyres on.
The only thing is I see that the correct load rating for Bongos is min. 94 front and 96 rear but I have been sent 94 all round (225 55 17)... I just hope they will be ok as they are with my dealer to be fitted just now

As Kirsty says that isn't correct - stop your dealer from fitting them and send them back.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!! I am beginning to hate Bongos as nothing has gone right with my purchases and I think my dealer was planning to fit the new wheels this morning.
I have emailed Wheel base and I will wait to see what they say . Its dreadful that you put your trust in "experts" and they let you down

Hope you get the tyres sorted to your satisfaction. We run Yokahama C drive tyres rated 100 all round. What a diference from the old Jap tyres. Don't be put off, re the new motor. There are some important things to get right...good thing is this forum is a great resourse for information and help. Glad to see you have found a new van, look forward to seeing some pics soon. looks like you are planning some pimping have fun and enjoy.

Thank you dunslair

Yes, I found another Bongo but because I was getting the LPG conversion done took a little longer to be ready for collection and unfortunately hubby is off to London on a course next week so he wont be able to collect it until the 14th.
We are so looking forward to getting our own transport again...I think the family is getting fed up with hearing "can we borrow your car?"
