tyre advice please

Post by tophatter » Mon Jun 18, 2007 1:12 pm

I have 195/70/15/92H tyres on the front and 215/65/15/96H on the back. Now I had a puncture at the weekend on one of my front tyres, which couldn’t be repaired. I tried 4 different garages and none could supply me with this tyre straight away. I have looked at my manual and it says 195/70/15/92S on the front and 215/65/15/96S on the back. I have read the forum and fact sheet and I’m now confused because I can’t see where anybody has mentioned that they have the tyres that are in the manual on there Bongo. The fact sheet mentions Dunlop GT2 but these come in different speed ratings on the front and back. I know I’m going to told off for bringing this subject up again, but I would like your advice because I'm considering changing them to a tyres that are easier to find.

The GT-2 195's have an S speed rating and the 215's have a T speed rating, is it ok to mix these?

Yes (unless you intend to go over 112 mph).

S 112 mph
T 118 mph
