Ah stuff it, I suppose I may as well just go and get some 215/65s all round then.

Right, booked in for some 215/65/15s all round.
The bloke at a large tyre company tried to insist I need higher load rated at £100+ each "despite what i might read on the internet" but they are the same who wanted me to have four new tyres when I went in for a balance to get rid of a wobble...
Another large tyre company listed normal rating when selecting Bongo from their list.
Anyway, £55 quid each.

Feeling much better on the 215/65 R15s fitted today.
Slight panic when it turned out my bumper was a bit out of alignment so a bit (too) close on the offside

needing a bit of bending of the metal bracket that joins the corner of the wheel arch/bumper, followed by a bit of impromptu realignment by
kloonsy of this parish - most greatful!
And to the rest of you for the advice.

Good result, and Bongos like a little 'Fettling'.

Are these OK with the 4WD?

Sorry if this is thread drift but will a full size wheel fit in the spare wheel space?

I have recently replaced my 'skinny' spare with a 215 - no sweat.

Just confirming is it really 40psi. (215's all round) I only have 30psi in mine at the moment was just out checking them. Love these long evenings for tinkering.
