New set of tyres needed.

Post by Major Grump » Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:22 pm

Hi all,
As of last week i am a pleased Bongo owner. My only problem is i need 4 new tyres!

I would like a set with the same size rather than the different rear to front sizes. I've scoured the web and found references to using 205 width tyres but no reference to the profile. Is anyone running 4x205 tyres, if so 65 or 70 profile on the stock 15 inch steel rims?
Thanks

Most seem to opt for 215/65.

I think 205's may be a little down on load index as 205/65s seem to be most 94 and 205/70 mostly seem to be 95 with some at 96.

215/65s are generally 96 or 100.
