Hi, would Continental Tyres 215 60 R17 be suitable on 17" Alloys for a Bongo?

I have a set of 4 new tyres to use here.

Thanks in advance

Probably not. I'll buy them off you

But seriously, they're a bit 'taller' than usual but I thInk they'd be fine provided the load rating is high enough.

Hi, the load rating is 96H - is that suitable?

Also, will the extra height cause any issues at all?

Here's the calculation difference;
