Tyre Load Rating

Having settled for some 18" RX-8 wheels, now the time so think about tyres.....

Anyone care to advise me on the load rating for a Bongo......

At least 96, assuming you are fitting the same size tyre all around.
You'll probably find them hard to get with the 18" wheel - also rather expensive

Whereabouts are you, we have a cracking tyre place here in wales, I know my 215 65 15's are £40.00 each fitted and 100 rated, so 18's prob would not be much dearer.

Dave, I am based near Windsor in Berkshire. However my partner is Welsh. I get to Aberdare, Ferndale and Maerdy quite a bit.

Getting to know that mountain road like a local.

18" wheels are significantly more expensive than 15".

You don't buy many 18" tyres do you Dave?

The price of 18" tyres is why I fitted 17" wheels

Hi. You'd ideally want either extra load or reinforced tyres. It's not possible to get 18" van tyres, they only go up to 16". The tyre company I work for fit plenty of 17, 18, 19 and 20" tyres to vans (mostly VW's but the odd Transit or Sprinter/Vito)and while they're all commercial vans, they're all used for the same purpose as a Bongo, and therefore don't need the 8ply van tyres they normally use. Even though our 2wd tintop seems to have a full set of van tyres on it!

Regards

Toby
